Kitts out for season

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina senior forward Chloe Kitts has announced on social media that she will miss the entire 2025 basketball season after tearing the ACL in her right knee.

The injury occurred during a recent team practice, according to a spokesperson for the program.

“Thank you for everyone who has reached out with love and support,” Kitts posted Monday on X. “I recently suffered a torn ACL and, unfortunately, will be out for the season. While this isn’t how I hoped my season would go, I’m trusting God’s timing and purpose. I’ll continue to lead, support and push my teammates from the sidelines. We have big things ahead!”

Kitts will have surgery this week to repair the ACL.
