LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas sophomore center Zvonimir Ivisic is set to enter the transfer portal, according to reports that surfaced on Monday.

Ivisic (7-2 center, native of Croatia) started in 19 of the 35 games he played in during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 19.1 minutes per outing.

He averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks while shooting 47.3% from the field, including 47-of-125 from 3 for 37.6%, and 52.9% from the free throw line for an Arkansas team (22-14 overall, 9-11 vs. SEC teams) that won 7 of its last 10 games including a run to the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen.

Ivisic’s role, minutes, and impact all diminished in the final third of the ’24-25 season at Arkansas as he struggled with playing with and through physicality in the paint at both ends of the floor.

Ivisic played in 15 games during his freshman season at Kentucky in ’23-24 before following head coach John Calipari to Arkansas in the offseason.

He has two seasons of remaining collegiate playing eligibility.
