— Arkansas guard Khalen “KK” Robinson is expected to need surgery on his foot after the freshman underwent an MRI on Friday, sources told the Democrat-Gazette on Saturday.

Coach Eric Musselman said Robinson told the staff at halftime on Wednesday in Knoxville, Tenn., that his foot was hurting and it had been bothering him since the Red-White game in preseason.

Musselman did not mention impending surgery for Robinson during his postgame remarks.

“We’ll just wait for the doctors to make it formal, what’s going to be the next step,” Musselman said, adding the Razorbacks would make an announcement then.

Robinson would be the third Razorback to undergo surgery this year, following Abayomi Iyiola and Justin Smith.
