Hansbrough OK, Should Be Back in Two Weeks

Nov 1, 2008, 3:45 PM UTC

â†µNews late in the week that Tar Heel talisman Tyler â†µHansbrough would be out “indefinitely” with a shin injury â†µknotted up some Chapel Hill stomaches, no doubt. But as â†µusual, that tricky “I” word overstated the situation, and â†µthe Winston-Salem Journal is now reporting Psycho â†µT will likely â†µrest only two weeks. It’s a “stress reaction” and not a â†µfracture.â†µâ†µâ‡¥“Tyler had some tests today that gave us more â†µâ‡¥information,” Williams said in a prepared statement. “There â†µâ‡¥is a great possibility that we will hold Tyler out of â†µâ‡¥practice for the next two weeks, then re-evaluate his â†µâ‡¥condition at that time.”

â†µâ‡¥Hansbrough’s inactivity could run up to the season opener. â†µâ‡¥North Carolina will play Penn two weeks from today in â†µâ‡¥Chapel Hill in its first game as the unanimous No. 1 team â†µâ‡¥in both national polls.â†µâ†µThere are two indisputable facts about Hansbrough: the dude â†µis tough as a $3 steak, and he is one of the best players â†µin college basketball. Without Hansbrough, UNC would be â†µhighly ranked -- Ty Lawson stayed in school, Wayne â†µEllington’s still around, the freshman class is filled with â†µstuds like Tyler Zeller. But Psycho T makes them the unanimous preseason No. 1, making this â†µrelatively good news something bright for Heels fans.â†µ
