Petravicius sidelined

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina center Marius Petravicius will be out least two weeks after injuring his left knee in the Gamecocks’ 66-50 victory over The Citadel on Thursday.

Petravicius, a 6-foot-10 senior, had an MRI on Friday and team doctors say he tore part of his anterior cruciate ligament. There is little swelling, no cartilage damage and he will not need surgery, the school said.

South Carolina coach Dave Odom said Petravicius will be evaluated again in two weeks. He was averaging 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.

Meanwhile, center Tony Kitchings, who had surgery on his broken hand last month, has been cleared to practice. It’s uncertain if Kitchings, who hasn’t played since Nov. 29, will play against Mississippi on Wednesday in the Gamecocks’ Southeastern Conference opener.
