Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari gives update on Adou Thiero ahead of NCAA Tournament Sweet 16

SAN FRANCISCO — Adou Thiero did not participate in the portion of the Arkansas men’s basketball team’s practice that was open to reporters at Chase Center on Wednesday.

The junior forward, who has missed the previous eight games with a hyperextended left knee, remained on the bench and dribbled a ball under his bent right leg with his left leg straight out. There was a brace on his left knee.

Thiero participated in contact practice behind closed doors Tuesday at the University of San Francisco. John Calipari said earlier in the day on the Pat McAfee Show that Thiero would be available for the 10th-seeded Razorbacks’ Sweet 16 game against third-seeded Texas Tech at 9:09 p.
