After a week off this past week, Texas basketball (16-10, 5-8 SEC) is looking to have multiple key players return to the forward rotation for the SEC road matchup on Feb. 22 against the South Carolina Gamecocks (10-16, 0-13 SEC).

According to the updated SEC injury report, Texas is likely to have forwards Arthur Kaluma and Devon Pryor available against South Carolina in Columbia on Saturday night. Pryor was active for Texas's last game this past Saturday against the No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats at the Moody Center. Still, Kaluma and junior guard Chendall Weaver were both out due to various lower-body injuries.

Redshirt senior forward Myles Stute has been dealing with an injury that has kept him out for the past month since the Gamecocks' SEC opener against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in early January.

Here is the full SEC injury report for Texas vs. South Carolina at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Saturday night.

-Devon Pryor, F: Probable

-Arthur Kaluma, F: Probable

-Chendall Weaver, G: Out

Pryor played 13 minutes off the bench for the Longhorns in the four-point win last Saturday at the Moody Center in Austin over Kentucky. He had three rebounds and two offensive boards vs. Kentucky. Having Pryor available in the forward rotation coming off the bench will give the Longhorns more options for the second unit against South Carolina tonight.

The biggest injury news for the Longhorns is the likely return of Kaluma to the starting lineup in the frontcourt. Kaluma has dealt with a leg injury that caused him to miss the last two games. He leads Texas in rebounding and three-point field goal percentage this season.

Weaver is working his way back from an injury that has kept him out since the Auburn game early in SEC play on Jan. 7.
