South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso has apologized for her role in a skirmish with LSU players that resulted in six player ejections during Sunday afternoon’s SEC women’s basketball tournament championship game in Greenville, S.C.
Cardoso, who was ejected from the contest for forcefully shoving LSU guard Flau’jae Johnson to the ground late in the fourth quarter, accepted full responsibility for her actions in a statement posted to social media.
“I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my actions during today’s game. My behavior was not representative of who I am as a person or the South Carolina program, and I deeply regret any discomfort or inconvenience it may have caused. I take full responsibility for my actions and assure you that I am committed to conducting myself with the utmost respect and sportsmanship in the future,” Cardoso wrote Sunday evening on X, formerly Twitter.
