After several injuries, Puff Johnson finding rhythm at UNC

Posted Mar 1, 2022
A majority of the 18,000-plus fans attending the Tar Heels’ January 15 win over Georgia Tech were on their feet. It was Puff Johnson’s first time checking into a game in almost a full year. "I hadn’t heard my name called in so long to check in that I ran up to the scorer’s table with my mask and my shooting shirt still on," Johnson laughed. "I was just in awe." (MSN.com)
