The SEC women\u2019s basketball availability report was released on Saturday night, and there were big announcements ahead of the South Carolina-Georgia game on Sunday.<\/p>\n
After missing the last three-and-a-half games with a sprained left ankle, Ta\u2019Niya Latson is not listed on the availability report. She participated in the portion of practice open to the media on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to see how she feels (Saturday). Every day is just, we\u2019re ramping her up,\u201d Dawn Staley said. \u201cIf that lower leg doesn\u2019t feel good (Saturday), then we\u2019ll have to pull back. If it does, then we\u2019ll continue to push through.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alicia Tournebize was not at practice on Friday because she was attending freshman orientation. Staley did not say whether Tournebize would make her debut on Sunday, but Tournebize was listed as OUT.<\/p>\n

She is shooting 51.9% from the floor and 41.7% from three, both career-highs. She is South Carolina\u2019s second-leading scorer and a crucial part of its transition game.<\/p>\n Latson was injured against Providence when she was driving for a transition layup with 4:18 left in the half. It was unclear on replays if Latson stepped on the defender\u2019s foot or simply took a wrong step, but as she tried to go up for the layup, Latson lost her balance and fell, immediately grabbing her foot in pain.<\/p>\n
