South Carolina expects to be without a key reserve for the SEC Tournament this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adhel Tac missed the last six games with a left foot injury. Dawn Staley said on Wednesday that they do not plan to bring her back for the SEC Tournament<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably not,\u201d Staley said. \u201cI know she\u2019s tired of the scooter, but I think we just need to be real cautious with it. I know she\u2019s antsy to get off the crutches and off the scooter, but she knew it was going to be rest and staying off of it as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tac\u2019s exact injury hasn\u2019t been announced. She initially walked around with a walking boot on her left foot before being given a scooter to move around on. Tac appears to enjoy rolling around the court during practices and warmups.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe does,\u201d Staley said. \u201cShe\u2019s just an expert at driving that thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tac is averaging 3.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks this season. She played in 23 games with three starts, and had her first career double-double in November against Queens.<\/p>\n

Prior to her injury, Tac was South Carolina\u2019s top reserve at the post. In her absence, Alicia Tournebize became the top reserve, but she has been supplanted by Maryam Dauda.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tac\u2019s injury is par for the course for the Gamecocks this season. South Carolina has lost 63 player games to injury, illness, suspension, or acclimation this season.<\/p>\n

Ta\u2019Niya Latson was not at the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, but is expected to be fine by Friday. Staley said Latson was \u201cjust a little under the weather.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Carolina expects to be without a key reserve for the SEC Tournament this weekend.\u00a0 Adhel Tac missed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3724],"tags":[7,465],"class_list":{"0":"post-641644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-womens-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116178400514666960","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
