North Carolina wing Theo Pinson fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and will be out indefinitely.
The injury occurred in a practice this week. There is no timetable for his return.
“I’m so disappointed for Theo,” head coach Roy Williams said. “Number one, he’s ben playing well and he does so many positive things for our team. Theo’s our energy guy, he defends, he’s our best passer, a threat on the offensive boards, he can play four different positions, and he gives our team personality.”
“Hopefully we can get him back before the end of the season.”
