Roy Williams Live: Puff Johnson on the Mend

Posted Feb 23, 2021
Puff Johnson injured a toe on his right foot in practice Jan. 22. In practice on Monday, however, Johnson made a significant stride in his recovery. "He's been bothered by a bad jammed toe," Roy Williams said on his radio show Monday (Video). "I think we'll see him today on the court shooting on the side without a boot on and I think that'll be the first time." (Inside Carolina)
