Raven Johnson, the second-ranked prospect coming out of high school, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the win at South Dakota.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina freshman guard Raven Johnson will miss the rest of the season after injuring her left knee in the top-ranked Gamecocks win over South Dakota. The school announced Johnson’s status Tuesday. 

Johnson was the high school Naismith Player of the Year and part of South Carolina’s No. 1-ranked recruiting class this season. She had come off the bench in the Gamecocks first two games.

Carolina will host Clemson Wednesday night in its first home game of the season.
