Sophomore center Lynetta Kizer, who is averaging 14.3 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game, is out on Comcast Center’s floor warming up with the rest of the Terps as they prepare to take on Drexel today. She is also listed as a probable starter in today’s media guide.

The reigning ACC rookie of the year is the leading scorer for the Terps this year, and the only returning starter from last year’s ACC championship squad.

Kizer went down with 1:21 remaining in the first half of Friday’s matchup against Howard, with a sprained ankle. She returned in the second half with her foot in a boot.

Her presence on the floor can only benefit the Terps (5-1), who are looking to win their third game in a span of six days.

UPDATE: Today’s starting five: Kim Rodgers, Diandra Tchatchourang, Tianna Hawkins, Lori Bjork, Anjale Barret

Kizer is on the bench.

UPDATE 2: Kizer entered the game with 16:11 remaining in the half, and right away hit a jumper for 2.
