Ginyard Sidelined

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- Fifth-year senior guard Marcus Ginyard sprained his right ankle and will not play in North Carolina’s game Monday evening against Rutgers.

Ginyard suffered the injury on a drive to the basket during Saturday evening’s practice. He is also doubtful for Wednesday’s game against Albany.

Ginyard is Carolina’s third-leading scorer at a career-high 11.0 points per game. He leads the team in steals (19) and is second in assists (47) and three-pointers made (15). He sat out the Presbyterian game on December 12 due to a bruised left foot.
