FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said freshman guard Desi Sills is OK after a hard fall in the second half of the Razorbacks' 90-89 win at LSU on Saturday.
After committing his second turnover of the game with 12:57 to play, Sills chased Tigers guard Skylar Mays to the other end of the floor and contested a dunk attempt, fouling Mays in the process. Sills fell to the floor, landing on his right side, and remained down before being assisted off the court by longtime trainer Dave England and strength and conditioning coach Dave Richardson.
Sills did not return to the game.
"He’s OK. I think he’s going to be OK," Anderson said Monday on the SEC coaches teleconference. "Probably bruised some ribs or something. It knocked the wind out of him, I know that. But without a doubt, our bench is a strength of our team. Jalen Harris fouled out and you need another ballhandler in there, but I was proud of the guys that were out there."
Sills is averaging 3.6 points and 1.2 assists in 14.6 minutes per game in SEC play.
