Arkansas star Adou Thiero is doubtful to play in the Razorbacks’ first round NCAA Tournament game due to a knee injury, as reported by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. Thiero has been sidelined since February 22 and is unlikely to return as March Madness kicks off. In his 26 games played, Thiero has been a standout performer, leading the team in scoring with 15.6 points per game and shooting an impressive 54.8% from the field.
Despite Calipari expressing his lack of concern for the SEC Tournament, Thiero’s absence would be a significant blow to the Razorbacks as they aim for success in the NCAA Tournament. Thiero, who transferred from Kentucky, has been praised for his physical style of play by both Calipari and current Wildcats coach Mark Pope. Pope described Thiero as a “monster” on the court, playing elite-level basketball with a high intensity and defensive prowess.
As Arkansas prepares for the NCAA Tournament, Thiero’s potential absence could impact the team’s chances of making a deep run. With his scoring ability, rebounding, and defensive skills, Thiero’s presence on the court is sorely missed. Razorbacks fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Thiero’s injury status leading up to the tournament.
