The sophomore posted late Sunday night on his Facebook page that he "broke" a foot.

The Newport News, Va., native is scheduled to return to Fayetteville later today and will be evaluated by doctors Tuesday, according to an Arkansas spokesperson. Arkansas is expected to issue a statement on Powell's condition after his evaluation.

Powell is Arkansas' leader in the frontcourt and averaged 14.9 points and a team-leading 6.7 rebounds a game last season, his first at Arkansas. He was the only Razorback to play and start in all 32 games.

If it's broken, then this is the year to focus on building up the GRADE POINTS of the Razorback basketball players.

Let's stop from losing a scholarship for low grade point average of the basketball team by building up grades with tutoring. Stress Academics!
