After days of medical care and treatment, Allisha Gray is officially going to play for the Gamecocks in the Sweet 16.

USC’s starting guard appeared to suffer a non-contact right leg injury Sunday night against Arizona State in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament, but head coach Dawn Staley announced on Wednesday that the former North Carolina transfer will play on Saturday against 12-seed Quinnipiac in the regional semifinal.

On Tuesday, Staley told ABC Columbia Sports that Gray was improving day-by-day and was optimistic about her chances to play in Stockton, CA over the weekend. Less than 24 hours later, coach revealed Gray hadn’t suffered a knee injury, but a “Charlie horse” to her hamstring.
