The Oklahoma women’s basketball team is doing its pregame warm-ups on the floor of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and Amanda Thompson is nowhere to be seen.

Looks like the junior forward will not play tonight against Prairie View A&M.

She has been sidelined since last weekend with a tendon injury in her left. Tests revealed that she had a malformation, the possible result of an aggravation of an old injury.
