Makhel plays

Arkansas senior center Makhel Mitchell played 23 minutes off the bench after missing the previous game against LSU on Tuesday night because of a right ankle injury he suffered last Saturday against Ole Miss.

Mitchell had 4 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocked shots and 2 assists.

“Makhel Mitchell was supposed to be out over a week and a half to 21/2 weeks,” Coach Eric Musselman said. “He comes back and misses one game and suits up and gives us a great minutes on a bad ankle.”
