Arkansas basketball wing Isaiah Sealy injures knee, requires surgery

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball sophomore Isaiah Sealy sustained a knee injury in a recent practice that will require surgery, according to a social media post from head coach John Calipari.

Calipari said that the Razorbacks do not know the current timeline for Sealy’s return.

“I am disappointed for him because he has gotten so much better and spent time working on his game,” Calipari wrote on the ‘X’ app.

Sealy played sparingly across 19 games during his freshman season. The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field.

In his collegiate debut against Southern, Sealy scored 12 points, going 6-of-6 at the free throw line. He made an impact in Arkansas‘ win over Mississippi State with six points and three blocks, gathering extended minutes due to Karter Knox and D.J. Wagner injuries.

Fortunately for Calipari, Arkansas will have strong depth at Sealy’s position. Billy Richmond III is back, and a pair of five-star freshmen are already on campus in the forms of JJ Andrews and Abdou Toure. Those three were likely ahead of Sealy in the pecking order for minutes prior to this injury.
