Frank Martin provides injury update on Keyshawn Bryant following Texas A&M game
South Carolina sophomore swingman Keyshawn Bryant exited the Gamecocks’ win over Texas A&M on Saturday with a head injury.
Bryant collided with Texas A&M’s Wendell Mitchell less than three minutes into the game. He subbed out with 17:05 left in the first half and didn’t return to the floor.
Carolina coach Frank Martin, in a radio interview with play-by-play announcer Derek Scott of the Gamecock Sports Network, said he had yet to get a full update on Bryant, but “I know Mark (Rodger), the trainer, said ‘Frank, he’s done for the game.’ Derek, when you and I were kids, you get hit with a sledgehammer and they tell us to go back in there. In today’s day and age, which is the right thing to do, somebody gets hit in the head and if there’s any sense of headaches or dizziness or whatever, there’s no sense in putting a young man back out there again.”
Bryant missed the first eight games of this season after surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee. The Florida native is fourth on the team in scoring (9.4 points per game).
USC (10-7, 2-2 SEC) next travels to Auburn on Wednesday.
