Alicia Tournebize Out for World Cup | Gamecocks Basketball News

Alicia Tournebize, France’s key forward and South Carolina’s rising star, is sidelined for weeks after a finger injury sustained during practice — likely ruling her out of the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup. The French team confirmed the news Saturday, withholding injury details but signaling a major blow to their tournament prep. For South Carolina, the setback comes as they gear up for late-September practice and an exhibition in Paris, with their regular season not kicking off until November. Tournebize, a sophomore in just 12 minutes per game last season, now faces a tough recovery — but fans are hopeful she’ll rebound stronger than ever.
