Tiffany Davis tears ACL, WBB depth takes damage

Redshirt Junior guard Tiffany Davis tore her ACL and will miss the entirety of the 2015-2016 season, Gamecock Athletics announced Monday. Davis sustained the injury to her left knee in practice on Friday, but it was not confirmed until Monday afternoon.

The 5-foot-7 Houston native has not yet set a surgery date, but will consult with South Carolina Athletics Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Guy in anticipation of the procedure.

Davis has battled injuries as a Gamecock, missing all but three games of her true freshman season with a torn right ACL and missing four games last season due to various injuries. Davis was most productive two seasons ago as a redshirt freshman, seeing action in 32 games and starting seven.

She has averaged 2.2 points in 9.4 minutes a game while hitting 38.3 percent of her shots from behind the arc.

Davis was expected to back up senior Khadijah Sessions this season.
