FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Marshawn Powell is struggling with a foot injury for the second consecutive off-season.
Powell, a sophomore, is in a cast for a foot injury suffered playing a game of pick-up basketball, a team spokesperson said Tuesday. The injury isn’t expected to impact Powell’s status for next season.
Powell suffered a broken foot last August playing a game of pick-up basketball in his hometown of Newport News, Va., which forced him to miss most of the preseason and two regular season games. Powell averaged 10.8 points and 4.5 rebounds for the Razorbacks.
