Dawn Staley gives Ta'Niya Latson injury update for South Carolina vs Alabama
COLUMBIA — South Carolina women's basketball will be without starting guard Ta'Niya Latson in its SEC opener.
The No. 3 Gamecocks (13-1) host Alabama (14-0) on Jan. 1 (2 p.m., SEC Network+). Latson went down with an apparent ankle injury in the second quarter of the 96-55 win over Providence on Dec. 28.
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley ruled her out on Dec. 31. An official SEC injury report will publish every night before each conference game.
"Take it day by day," Staley said when asked if she'll play on Jan. 4 at Florida. "I'm hoping, we're praying. If not, we got to keep going."
Latson had to be helped off the court, and didn't put any pressure on her left foot when walking into the locker room. According to Staley after the game, Latson got treatment during the second half which is why she didn't return to the bench.
