Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari updated the health status of freshman guard Boogie Fland following the Razorbacks' 83-65 loss to Missouri on Saturday evening at Mizzou Arena.
Fland, who finished with four points on 2-of-13 shooting in 32:59 minutes of game action against the Tigers, first injured his hand against Florida on Jan. 11, according to Calipari.

Against Florida and in games afterward versus LSU and Missouri, Fland has shot 12-of-43 (27.9%) from the field.
"Boogie's hand, you know, he fell in the game at our place against Florida," Calipari said after the game. "Billy (Richmond) jumped on him, so his hand is pretty bad. Don't know what we'll do going forward. But, we got to make sure we get that thing right."
Should the Hoop Hogs be without Fland for an extended period of time, Arkansas' already-tight rotation will be truncated that much more, which is a bad omen for a team that's already 0-5 in Southeastern Conference play.
"We’ve got nine guys and if Boogie is out for a while we may have eight guys," Calipari said. "Well, guess what those eight guys got to do? Play well. All of them. You can’t have four of the eight and get it done and that means again, mindsets."
Up next, Arkansas will welcome the No. 23 Georgia Bulldogs into Bud Walton Arena on Wednesday. That game will tip off at 8 p.m. CT and it will air on the SEC Network.
