South Carolina Gamecocks senior post player A'ja Wilson is injured and will not be able to participate in the upcoming Four Nations Tournament August 12-15 in Tokyo, Japan.

The 2017 Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, Wilson was announced Friday as part of the U.S. roster for the Under-23 event. But on Saturday, USA Basketball announced that Wilson is out due to a groin strain.

Ohio State guard Linnae Harper has been added to the U.S. roster; her backcourt mate with the Ohio State Buckeyes, Kelsey Mitchell, was already a member of the team.
