COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Dawn Staley acknowledged that her top-ranked team will be missing some players against No. 13 LSU on Thursday.
"We've got a few people out," Staley said Wednesday.
Staley did not say who won't play in the SEC matchup against Kim Mulkey, who is in her first season coaching LSU (14-1, 2-0).
South Carolina played short-handed Sunday against Mississippi State with reserves LeLe Grissett, Saniya Rivers, Laeticia Amihere and Olivia Thompson in virus protocols.
Amihere, who usually is the first player off the bench, is averaging 7.2 points a game and is third on the team in steals (14) and blocks (17). Grissett has missed the last three games as part of virus protocols.
