UALR sophomore forward Will Neighbour's season isn't over.Neighbour, UALR's leading scorer and rebounder, dislocated his shoulder in closing seconds of last Saturday's victory at Denver. The injury caused him to miss Tuesday's loss against No. 2 Kentucky.
It was feared the injury might cost Neighbour the remainder of his sophomore season. But while his teammates were in Louisville, Ky., Neighbour had X-Rays and MRI on the shoulder. It was determined that Neighbour could return after rehabilitation.
There is no definite time frame for his return. He will be evaluated on a game-to-game basis.
UALR continues Sun Belt Conference play on Saturday at home against Florida Atlantic.
Neighbour is averaging 12 points and 6.1 rebounds. He was named last week's Sun Belt Conference player of the week. He had a similar injury last year to the opposite shoulder. He had surgery and missed all of his sophomore season at Daytona State College.
