LSU star forward Aneesah Morrow left the SEC Tournament semifinal game against Texas with a left foot injury after stepping on the foot of a Texas defender in the third quarter. She stayed down and had to be helped off the court and did not return for the remainder of the game on Saturday.

Holle Rowe reported that LSU SID Grant Kauvar said Morrow as getting an X-Ray in the locker room during the fourth quarter. Rowe also said that Morrow came into this game with some discomfort with her left foot.

Morrow eventually returned to the bench with a boot on her left foot.

After the game, Mulkey said that Morrow reaggravated a mid-foot sprain, but she will be good to go for the NCAA Tournament.

Here was the injury:

Morrow was coming off of an incredible performance on Friday with 36 points and 14 rebounds in LSU’s win over Florida. In her 20 minutes against Texas, she had 10 points on 5-of-11 shooting.

Morrow was voted to the All-SEC first team earlier this week, further displaying her terrific season at LSU.

Now, both Aneesah Morrow and Flau’Jae Johnson will look to take some time to recover and prepare for the NCAA Tournament which is set to begin March 21-22 for round one.

Morrow has been dominant for the Tigers. She leads the country in rebounding (14.0 rpg) and double-doubles (26). Morrow scores 18.2 points per game and has 14 20-point games. She has four 20-rebound games, including two 20/20 games. Morrow has eight games with 20 points and 15 rebounds. She stayed active on the defensive end with 2.53 steals per game (4th in SEC).

The senior is leaving her name in the record books at LSU. She reached career milestones of 2,500 points and 1,500 career points this season and is one of eight players in NCAA DI history to reach both marks. She became one of two players in NCAA DI history to secure 100 career double-doubles. Morrow currently ranks No. 5 in NCAA DI history for all-time rebounds.
