Clemson basketball's P.J. Hall returns from injury, makes debut against South Carolina

Columbia – P.J. Hall is back.

Clemson basketball's standout center returned from a knee injury Friday night and made his season debut at South Carolina. Hall missed the Tigers' season-opener earlier this week against The Citadel. He entered the game on the first media timeout and almost immediately scored his first basket.

Hall, a Spartanburg (Dorman) native, led Clemson last season with 15.5 points per game with 5.8 rebounds and 38 blocked shots while playing on a fractured foot. He was named to the watch list for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year.

Hall, a 6-foot-10 Spartanburg native who went to Dorman High School, played nearly all of last season with a fractured metatarsal, one of the long bones in his left foot. Just as he returned to workouts in July, he suffered a partial dislocation of a kneecap.
