Flau'jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow injury updates: Will stars play in March Madness?
LSU basketball fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Head coach Kim Mulkey confirmed Sunday night that junior point guard Flau'jae Johnson and senior forward Aneesah Morrow are "good to go" for the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson, who has been resting while dealing with shin inflammation, has not suited up for the Tigers since the Feb. 27 loss against Alabama. The junior averages 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
Morrow has been sidelined since suffering a lower leg injury in the SEC semifinal loss to Texas on March 8. The senior averages 18.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 2.6 steals.
A notable detail is that both stars were seen wearing walking boots during the Selection Sunday watch party. The Tigers received the No. 3 seed and will host No. 13 San Diego State at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Saturday, March 22.
