Posted May 8, 2008

Mike Copeland, a North Carolina basketball player from Winston-Salem, will undergo surgery on June 4 to repair a slightly torn anterior-cruciate ligament in his right knee, his father said yesterday. Michael Copeland said his son suffered the injury in a pickup game last Wednesday in Chapel Hill. Because the tear is not complete, Copeland, a reserve forward, is hopeful of being able to play next season, when he will be a senior . (Winston-Salem Journal)
