UNC Basketball Player Preview: Sterling Manley Posted Nov 21, 2020 After playing 37 games as a freshman in 2017-18, Sterling Manley was limited to 18 games as a sophomore due to knee soreness. The 6-foot-11 Ohio native didn't play at all last season following surgery on his left knee. Now just a few days from the start of the 2020-21 season there are no expectations of when Manley will be able to return to the court. (Inside Carolina)
