UNC's Tyler Zeller Fractures Wrist, Out For Season

UNC's Tyler Zeller Fractures Wrist, Out For Season

X-Rays revealed that the wrist injury Tyler Zeller suffered Tuesday night in a game against against Kentucky  is multiple fractures.  Zeller will most likely be out for the season.

 

Although Zeller started the first two games of Carolina's season, he was not expected to start once Tyler Hansbrough returned from his own injury, a stress reaction in his leg.  This may seem like a slight relief to Tar Heel fans, but even though Zeller would no longer have been counted on to play such an important role on the team, the game experience that he will lose this season will be sure to affect the Tar Heels next season when many of Carolina's best players graduate and/or move onto the NBA.

 

Hansbrough, meanwhile, went through a "limited practice" on Monday and will hopefully return soon now that Zeller is out.

If you look at the replays, Ramon Harris didn't even touch zeller. They showed it about 10 times during the game. It was just a freak accident. Posted 11/19/2008 6:20 PMReply

Amen. I'm so tired of hearing about this supposed "hard foul." Harris bumped him slightly in mid-air, which could have caused him to topple like he did, but in all likelihood he would have fallen anyway after missing that dunk. Posted 11/19/2008 9:16 PMReply
