UNC women's basketball's Kayla McPherson returns to play in road win against Clemson

Posted Jan 30, 2023
Before Sunday, freshman guard Kayla McPherson hadn't played in a basketball game for 800 days. A nagging knee injury from high school kept her sidelined all of last season, and a different lower-body injury kept her out for the beginning of this season. Against Clemson, McPherson finally made her collegiate debut after persevering through "a long road." (Daily Tar Heel)
