Scores 34 before injury Mark was forced to exit Friday's loss to North Carolina due to a back injury, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports. Impact It was a scary sight in the Battle 4 Atlantis matchup, as Mark took a hard fall and a stretcher was needed to carry him off the court. There was a bit of good news relayed by coach Eric Musselman after the game, as he told reporters it was a back injury, rather than an originally-feared head/neck issue. Prior to his departure, Mark had single-handedly been keeping Arkansas in the game, as he put up a career-high 34 points (13-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT) to go along with five rebounds and a block. Mark was the team's second-leading scorer at 15.8 ppg entering Friday's action, and any prospective absence would be a major blow, especially considering the team is lined up for a tough matchup against Duke on Wednesday.
