LSU's Kateri Poole Leaves Team Amid Ongoing Drama

Despite key player departures and injuries, Lady Tigers maintain strong performance with 9-1 record.

Junior guard Kateri Poole is no longer with the LSU women’s basketball team, according to head coach Kim Mulkey.
Poole, who played a key role in LSU's national title win last season, has not been present for the last five games.
LSU is also dealing with the season-ending absence of Sa’Myah Smith and prized offseason transfer Hailey Van Lith is sidelined with plantar fasciitis.
Despite these challenges, LSU is currently 9-1 and ranked seventh.
Angel Reese, 2023 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, recently returned to the team after missing four games for undisclosed reasons.
