This post has been updated with new information.

We're down to the finals in the NCAA women's volleyball tournament, with Louisville facing Penn State, but we'll see if star and Louisville native Anna DeBeer will play on Sunday.

She had an ankle injury in the semifinal match against Pitt and was spotted with a walking boot after, and head coach Dani Busboom Kelly called her "day-to-day" noting that she wouldn't have played if the game was the next day, but that a day of rest would help.

"We're going to do everything we can to get her on the court," Busboom Kelly said, via the Courier Journal. "But we do have a great team behind her if she can't go."

So: we'll see.

UPDATE: she's a "game-time decision" and was seen dressed for warmups, but it's unclear if she's actually playing.

UPDATE 2: it doesn't sound like she's playing. She's out of the starting lineup.
