BATON ROUGE ― LSU basketball guard Trae Hannibal is “very questionable” to play against Texas A&M on Saturday, coach Matt McMahon said on Friday.

According to McMahon, Hannibal sprained his right ankle during practice on Tuesday. The injury forced Hannibal to sit out LSU’s loss to Mississippi State on Wednesday; he was on the bench with a walking boot on his right leg during the game.

He also missed Thursday’s practice, McMahon said Friday, adding, “I would not expect him to be able to practice today and with that being the case, we make him very questionable for tomorrow’s game.”

He also didn’t play during the Tigers’ loss to No. 3 Alabama last Saturday due to a coach’s decision.

The Tigers (12-12, 1-10 SEC) face the Aggies (17-7, 9-2) at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Saturday (7:30 p.m., SEC Network). LSU will enter the matchup with 11 losses in a row, going winless in 2023.
