South Carolina Star Forward Chloe Kitts to Miss Entire Season with Torn ACL
Kitts, a senior and key rebounder, will have surgery this week after a torn ACL sidelines her for the entire 2025-26 season, adding to South Carolina's injury challenges.
- On Monday, Oct. 13, South Carolina announced senior forward Chloe Kitts will miss the entire 2025-26 season.
- Medical reports show Chloe Kitts was diagnosed with a torn ACL in her right knee and surgery is expected this week.
- Last season, Chloe Kitts, senior forward, averaged 10.2 points and 7.7 rebounds and earned SEC Tournament and NCAA Birmingham 2 Regional MVP, including a 16-point, 13-rebound, 10-assist triple-double at Ole Miss.
- Her absence puts more pressure on sophomore forward Joyce Edwards and Mississippi State transfer Madina Okot inside, and South Carolina is now without two expected forwards and down to 10 healthy players after Ashlyn Watkins' injury.
- Kitts could still enter the WNBA draft or return for college, with an exhibition on Oct. 24 and season opener Nov. 3; she wrote, `Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support`.
