Ta'Niya Latson Exits With Left Ankle Injury During South Carolina's Win Over Providence

Coach Dawn Staley labeled it an ankle sprain for now pending a Monday re-evaluation.

Overview

  • Latson left in the second quarter after injuring her left ankle and was helped off without putting weight on the foot.
  • She had 10 points when she exited, and No. 3 South Carolina went on to beat Providence 96-55 behind 18 points each from Tessa Johnson and Madina Okot.
  • Staley said Latson received treatment during the second half and will be re-evaluated Monday.
  • With the roster already thinned by ACL injuries to Ashlyn Watkins and Chloe Kitts, Staley pointed to Agot Makeer for increased minutes after her 10-point, 10-rebound outing.
  • French freshman center Alicia Tournebize is expected to bolster depth once she arrives, though the exact reporting date remains unknown.
