South Carolina women’s basketball is set to play Tennessee on Sunday, but the status of the Gamecocks’ leading scorer remains in doubt.
USC coach Dawn Staley said Friday that junior guard Te’a Cooper, who sprained her left ankle against Kentucky on Thursday, is progressing in her recovery, but whether or not she will play against the Lady Vols is unclear.
“She’s doing good. She walked around today. She’s in a lot better position than she was yesterday, and we got good news, it’s just a sprain,” Staley said.
In the portion of practice open to media on Friday, Cooper was on the sideline in training gear, receiving ice and treatment on her ankle.
