Despite her limited playing time, Jah’s absence comes at a bad time for the Gamecocks. Starting center Kamilla Cardoso is away from the team to play for the Brazilian national team. Their absences leave South Carolina with just nine active players.
After the game, Dawn Staley declined to specify why Jah is out, but said she has a chance to return.
“It will be day-by-day,” Staley said. “She’ll work towards getting closer to coming back, but it wil be day-to-day.”
