DESI SILLS NEWS

Paces team with 21 points Sills (undisclosed) led all scorers in Tuesday's season-opening win against Harding with 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two assists and two steals.

Impact Sills' availability to kick off the season was in question after he was carried off the floor on a stretcher during a scrimmage back in October. The former Razorback appears destined to star in a featured role on offense with his new team and could be looking at a career year in the scoring department.

Suffers injury in scrimmage Sills was taken off the court via a stretcher due to an unspecified injury during a scrimmage Wednesday, Andrew Hutchinson of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Sills transferred from Arkansas to Arkansas State over the summer, but his status for the start of the season is now in limbo due to the undisclosed injury. He scored 33 points in the scrimmage before going down with the injury and will have a significant role for the Red Wolves when healthy.

Moody leads No. 12 Arkansas past South Carolina 101-73

Moses Moody tied his career high with 28 points and No. 12 Arkansas won its 10th straight Southeastern Conference game with a 101-73 victory over South Carolina on Tuesday night

Limited to 10 minutes Sills had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and one assist across 10 minutes in Tuesday's 81-80 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Sills was considered questionable for this contest due to a shoulder injury, and while he ultimately came off the bench, the junior barely scratched his season-long average 24.3 mpg. Instead, Jalen Tate (15 points), Moses Moody (14 points) and JD Notae (11 points) handled the backcourt scoring for the Razorbacks in the narrow win. It will be a risky proposition to deploy Sills in daily formats until it's confirmed his minutes are back up.

Good to go Tuesday Sills (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's game against Kentucky, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sills has been nursing this shoulder injury since last week when he took a hard fall. According to coach Eric Musselman, Sills will be good to go for Tuesday. The junior is averaging 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes per contest.

Considered questionable Tuesday Sills (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Kentucky, Tom Murphy of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact The guard is still on the mend after taking a hard fall on his shooting arm in Arkansas' most recent game last Tuesday. Per coach Eric Musselman, Sills would have been doubtful Saturday if the game against Texas A&M was played as scheduled. Look for Sills' status to clear up when Arkansas hits the floor for warmups.

Shoulder still a problem Sills is unable to raise his left arm to the point where he can shoot, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact Sills suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of Tuesday's game versus Mississippi State and the issue appears to still be a cause for concern. Fortunately for him, the Razorbacks' game scheduled for Saturday against Texas A&M has been postponed, so he will have a little extra time to rest it before the team is scheduled to take the floor again Tuesday at Kentucky.

Sparks second-half rally Sills had a team-high 22 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT) to go along with three rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 75-73 victory over Auburn...

Impact Sills returned to a reserve role after picking up the start Saturday against Alabama in which he scored just three points. The junior remains plenty capable of scoring in bunches, but is a frustratingly inconsistent option for fantasy players. He was nonetheless the key driver in Wednesday's comeback, as 14 of his 22 points came in the second half.

Not starting Saturday Sills is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Georgia.

Impact Sills has started in all 11 games for the Razorbacks so far but struggled mightily in the loss to Tennessee on Jan. 6 which may have led to his demotion to the bench. After averaging 32.6 minutes in the previous five games, Sills played just 18 minutes against the Volunteers and failed to score on one shot attempt while recording two rebounds and three turnovers in the effort. He'll back up Davonte Davis who is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's tilt.

First career double-double Sills mustered 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Sunday's win over Oral Roberts.

Impact This was the junior's first career double-double, as Sills managed double figures offensively for a third straight while posting a career best on the glass. Over the first seven games this year, Sills is tallying 12.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
