Returns to action Lykes recorded eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 87-43 win over Missouri.
Impact Lykes (groin) returned for Arkansas after leaving Saturday's game against Texas A&M with a groin injury. The 5-foot-7 guard has played in all 16 games for the Razorbacks (started two), averaging 11.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.9 steals on 23.1 minutes per game this season. The senior guard will look to continue to contribute efficient scoring off the bench for the Razorbacks.

Impact Lykes logged 10 minutes Saturday prior to departing but appears to be in better shape after a few days of rest. It will still be worth monitoring his status in pregame warmups to ensure the senior is available.

Not in starting five Lykes isn't starting Tuesday's game against Vanderbilt, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports reports.
Impact Lykes started the past two games but isn't in the lineup Tuesday. He's averaged 12.9 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals this season and will presumably be available off the bench since there's been no report of an injury.

Tallies 21 in starting role Lykes notched 21 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-12 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 81-55 victory over Elon.
Impact Lykes made his first start of the season for the Razorbacks and took advantage of the opportunity to top 20 points for just the second time all season on the back of a perfect 12 made free throws. Lykes took the place of Davonte Davis in the Razorbacks' starting five.

Chris Lykes shines as sixth man vs. UNI Chris Lykes appears to be settling into his role as a spark plug off the bench for the Razorbacks.

Propels Razorbacks to victory Lykes ended with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI.
Impact Lykes had to step up in this contest after fellow guard Davonte Davis was ejected due to a flagrant foul, and the Miami-FL transfer answered the call. His 26 points were a game high in what was easily his best showing with the Razorbacks. Despite coming off the bench in all three contests, Lykes is now second on the team in scoring (15.7 ppg), trailing only JD Notae (21.7 ppg).

Not starting opener Lykes is not in the starting five for Tuesday's season opener against Mercer.
Impact Lykes was a consistent 15.0 ppg scorer during his time at Miami, but the high-profile transfer was surprisingly not starting exhibition contests for the Razorbacks. It appears that trend will continue into the regular season, with J.D. Notae and Davonte Davis getting the nod in the backcourt.

Acts as reserve in second exhibition Lykes had 14 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Saturday's 68-60 exhibition victory over North Texas.
Impact Lykes has now came off the bench in both exhibition contests, though both saw him reach double-digit scoring. It seems coach Eric Musselman is going to roll with the incumbent JD Notae as the starting point guard early, but don't let this detract too much from the fantasy value of Lykes -- a high-volume scorer when healthy.
