Brad Brownell and the Clemson men’s basketball team have a huge matchup Wednesday as the Tigers host undefeated rivals South Carolina for what is shaping up to be an excellent matchup.
Forward Jack Clark has been dealing with lingering injuries, but played through it until recently. Clark did not participate in the Tigers’ win over Pittsburgh, and it sounds like his status is still up in the air ahead of this matchup against the Gamecocks.
“We’re still kind of trying to figure it all out. I would say he’s doubtful for this game. I’m going to get with Brad (Crowe) right before practice and just see what it looks like. It’s been challenging for him. Just hasn’t been able to kind of get all the way there. He’s had some steps back, if you will, so we’ve just got to kind of deal with it day-to-day,” Brownell said.
Along with Clark is Alex Hemenway, who is dealing with a lower leg injury. Hemenway has some time to go before the team believes he’ll be back to full strength.
“Jack and Alex, that’s been really challenging. I anticipated those guys being probably two of our top six guys. It’s just, they both haven’t been able to do as much,” Brownell said.
Clemson won’t be at full strength for this matchup, but they’ve been banged up throughout the season. Clemson faces South Carolina on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at Littlejohn Coliseum with tipoff at 8 p.m., televised on ACC Network.
