The North Carolina Tar Heels have begun preparation for the upcoming season as Hubert Davis and his staff look to get this program back to the NCAA Tournament.
North Carolina’s roster will look a lot different this season, losing three starters and a few others to the transfer portal. They do welcome in a handful of players from the portal as well as a two-man recruiting class for the 2023 cycle.
As UNC continues with practice, they held an open session to for the media during media day last week. And two players were spotted NOT practicing during that session.
Per Rodd Baxley of the Fayetteville Observer, sophomore Seth Trimble and transfer Jae’Lyn Withers were both sidelined during the open portion:
A pair of Tar Heels, sophomore Seth Trimble and Louisville transfer Jae’Lyn Withers, were sidelined during the portion of practice open to the media. Both players were nursing minor lower-body injuries, according to UNC sports information director Steve Kirschner.
Both injuries are considered “minor” which means they likely aren’t serious at the moment and are probably being held out for precautions.
The Tar Heels will open up the season in just under a month, and both Withers and Trimble’s status moving forward.
