UNC loses starting C Davis for rest of season
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As if it couldn't get worse for North Carolina, Tar Heels big man Ed Davis is expected to miss the rest of the season with a broken left wrist.
The 6-foot-10 sophomore suffered the injury midway through the second half in Wednesday night's loss against Duke.
North Carolina said the wrist will be immobilized for at least the next six weeks -- which makes it highly unlikely he'll return to the court this season.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Davis is averaging 13.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks this season for North Carolina, which is almost certainly NIT-bound with a 13-11 overall record and a 2-7 mark in ACC play.
The Tar Heels are already without two injured big men -- Tyler Zeller and Travis Wear.
Davis' injury will also likely mean extended minutes for long and talented freshman John Henson.
