COLUMBIA, S.C. -- No. 2 South Carolina suspended reserve guard Maddy McDaniel for its game against rival Clemson on Tuesday night.
South Carolina (3-0) announced the suspension shortly before the matchup, which the Gamecocks won 65-37.
"Maddy McDaniel will not be at tonight's game. She has been suspended," the team said on social media.
Coach Dawn Staley was expected to discuss the suspension after the game.
McDaniel is a 5-foot-9 sophomore from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. She played in 30 games as a freshman, averaging 3.1 points a contest. She missed the last win over Bowling Green due to a knee injury.
The suspension is the latest hit to South Carolina's roster. The Gamecocks are without reigning SEC tournament MVP Chloe Kitts (torn ACL) and Ashlyn Watkins, who is taking time off from basketball after suffering an ACL injury in January.
