Kayla McPherson battles through surgeries, pain, setbacks with determination

Posted Jan 21, 2025
Instead of piling up points and assists, Kayla McPherson’s UNC Women's Basketball career has included periods of pain, healing, and setbacks. Since the No. 17 player in the Class of 2021 and McDonald’s All-American arrived in Chapel Hill after leading the nation in scoring (36.1 points per game) as a junior, she’s had four surgeries and plenty of heartbreak.
