FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Abayomi Iyiola is moving closer to being medically cleared, but his timeline to return has changed.
Iyiola, a transfer from Stetson who sat out the 2019-20 season, has not played this season after suffering a torn ACL last summer prior to the start of team activities. At the time of the injury, Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said the 6-9 forward would miss 5-6 months.
On Jan. 11, Musselman noted that the 6-9 forward could be cleared by the first week or two in February. On Saturday he said Iyiola is now looking at a potential late-February return.
