COLOMBIA, SC (AP) – One of South Carolina’s most experienced strikers in Alanzo Frink will miss the rest of the men’s basketball season for medical reasons.
Gamecocks coach Frank Martin announced Frink’s status on Tuesday. The 6-foot-8 junior from Jersey City, New Jersey, played in three games, all games for Gamecocks (3-5, 1-3 Southeastern Conference).
Frink averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in his three games. He has not played since South Carolina stopped activities due to COVID-19, after a loss in Houston on December 5.
Frink has played 54 games in the previous two seasons and was expected to suffer more from the departure of senior Maik Kotsar last year.
Martin, who caught the coronavirus twice, including earlier this month, said Frink was in a good mood. The coach did not say whether Frink tested positive for COVID-19, but that the team’s medical team believes that Frink will return to the team next season.
