Brown hurt his knee against Ole Miss and left in the second quarter. Coach Jon Sumrall called it a low-grade strain on Monday. The MRI showed nothing long-term.

The open question is comfort. Sumrall said availability now depends on Brown’s pain tolerance and confidence.

Stockton also went down in the second quarter against Ole Miss, with a back injury. He came back after halftime.
