FAYETTEVILLE – Arlando Cook has returned to practice and other team activities, as head coach Mike Anderson announced that he had partially lifted his indefinite suspension.

The senior forward from St. Louis, Mo., was removed from the team after a Sept. 2 arrest in which he was charged with first-degree assault, public intoxication and disorderly conduct after getting into a fight on Dickson Street in Fayetteville.

“He started practice yesterday,” Anderson said Thursday. “I’m comfortable with that as we continue to get facts rolling in on what has taken place. He’s still suspended from playing. That won’t be determined until the case against him is hopefully resolved.”

It was Cook’s second arrest since joining the Razorbacks after beginning his collegiate career at Connors State, a junior college in Oklahoma.

His first arrest occurred almost exactly 11 months prior. He was charged with public intoxication on Oct. 1, 2016, after being found passed out in someone else’s car.

That arrest did not result in Cook missing any games last season. He appeared in all 36 games and made seven starts, averaging 2.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.3 minutes.

Although Cook is the lone senior not featured on the cover of Arkansas’ media guide and is not included on the roster inside of it, he is listed on the roster for Friday’s Red-White game.

Because it is a scrimmage, he will be allowed to play. Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and admission is free. However, the UA is asking fans to donate non-perishable food items.

Before the scrimmage, beginning at 5:45 p.m., the Razorbacks will have an hour-long autograph session on the Bud Walton Arena concourse.
