Howell sidelined for season with broken left wrist
South Carolina forward Rolando Howell will miss the rest of the season after breaking his left wrist in a win over Georgia. The 6-foot-9 senior, who averaged 9 points and 5.4 rebounds, was set to impact the NCAA tournament run before sustaining a distal radius fracture that requires at least six weeks of healing. Howell came to USC as a McDonald's All-American after a high-profile career and had been shaping into form with several double doubles before the injury.
