Blake Named to SEC Community Service Team

FAYETTEVILLE – Razorback junior Lawson Blake was named to the 2024 SEC Community Service Team, the league announced.

Blake, a Fayetteville native, not only serves his team as a valued member of the scout team to prepare the Razorbacks for their opponents, but he serves his hometown community with the same dedication and enthusiasm by giving back to those who have supported him. He has volunteered 25 hours of community service and helped raise money for the Make-A-Wish Dinner Foundation, the Children’s Safety Center, Northwest Arkansas Children’s Hospital Telethon and the SAAC canned food drive. Blake has served as an elementary mentor and participated in RazorCalls, connecting with elementary students across the state via Zoom to answer students’ questions and read books to the students. He additionally helped Arkansas basketball raise over $800,000 toward cancer research at its annual Suites and Sneakers Gala. Lawson was selected to serve on Arkansas’ Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the SEC Basketball Leadership Council. He additionally is a member of the Arkansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

This marks the 26th year for the SEC Community Service Team for men’s basketball as well as for women’s basketball. The SEC started the team to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition

Arkansas basketball guard Karter Knox probable to face South Carolina

Arkansas basketball guard Karter Knox probable to face South Carolina

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball sophomore Karter Knox is probable to play against South Carolina, according to the SEC Availability Report released on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

John Calipari said Knox suffered a hip pointer injury during the No. 17 Razorbacks (12-4, 2-1 SEC) 95-73 loss to Auburn over the weekend. Arkansas returns to action against the Gamecocks on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Calipari said he didn’t know the exact moment when Knox was hurt against Auburn, but it occurred during the first period as Knox did not play after halftime. He finished the night with zero points in seven minutes.

During his weekly radio show on Monday, Jan. 12, Calipari confirmed Knox had not practiced since the loss to Auburn.

This is not the first time Knox has dealt with an injury this season. He missed the opening game of the year with a toe sprain. The second-year guard is averaging 8.6 points and five rebounds while shooting a team-best 43.5% from 3-point range.

If Knox can play, he would get the chance to go against his older brother for the first time in their respective college careers. Kobe Knox is a redshirt senior at South Carolina after transferring from South Florida before the season.

If something changes before tipoff and Karter is sidelined, one of Billy Richmond III or Meleek Thomas will start against the Gamecocks.

Richmond would be a seamless replacement on the defensive end, although he is not as good of an outside shooter. Richmond is averaging 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

Thomas would be the aggressive pick on offense. The five-star freshman is Arkansas’ second-leading scorer with 15.4 points per game.

The biggest question is whether Calipari would go deeper into his bench to replace Knox in Arkansas’ eight-man rotation. Isaiah Sealy has been the Hogs’ ninth man this season, but he’s only averaging 8.9 minutes and has appeared in four games since the beginning of December.
