“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support,” Chloe Kitts wrote on social media Monday. “While this isn’t how I hoped my senior season would go, I’m trusting God’s timing and purpose. I’ll continue to lead, support, and push my team from the sidelines. We have big things ahead!”
The news hit the internet like a storm. South Carolina was set to be without two of its top forwards due to ACL injuries. Ashlyn Watkins, who had been expected to return midseason after tearing her ACL in January, announced she would be sitting out this year to “focus on myself,”and now Kitts would be joining her. Fans were left wondering how the Gamecocks would navigate the challenges of the upcoming season.
Kitts had been a cornerstone for South Carolina, starting the past two seasons and playing a crucial role in their 2024 national championship run. The Gamecocks made it back to the title game in April but fell short against UConn. Now, with her set to miss the upcoming season, her father revealed an important health update.
