Impact Wagner has started in 18 of his 22 appearances this season, averaging 7.4 points, 2.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds per game. If he returns to action, he'd be back in the mix following a two-game absence, but he'd likely remain on a bench role. His last start came Jan. 17.

Impact Wagner was initially considered doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Auburn.

Doubtful against Mississippi State Wagner (undisclosed) has been listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against Mississippi State.

Impact Wagner is a new addition to the Razorbacks' injury report, but his injury designation suggests he is in danger of missing his first game of the season. The 6-foot-4 junior, who is averaging 7.4 points, 1.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and one steal on 23.4 minutes per game, will have his status tracked during pregame warmups Saturday morning.

Step back in 2025-26 Wagner logged four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Saturday's 90-76 loss to Georgia.

Impact Wagner has started all 18 games at shooting guard this season, but his minutes and counting stats are all down significantly compared to 2024-25. The main reason has been sixth-man Meleek Thomas, who is averaging 17.7 ppg over his last six games and 15.3 ppg on the whole in his freshman season. Effectively, Wagner's ceiling will continue to be limited as the Razorbacks march towards the NCAA Tournament.

Impact Wagner has started every game for the Razorbacks, but has not generally been a top contributor. His place in the Arkansas hierarchy has been usurped by freshmen Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas. He played his most minutes since Nov. 8 and may have a more consistent place in the rotation as SEC play nears.
