UNC junior Puff Johnson's lengthy injury history added another chapter when he was unavailable for Saturday's game with a sore right knee. That is the same knee issue that held him out of UNC's first three games of the 2022-23 season. On Monday, UNC head coach Hubert Davis said there is a "chance" that Johnson could play on Tuesday at Syracuse. (Inside Carolina)
