Hansbrough might not lose tooth after accidental elbow

Posted Jan 23, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina might not lose the tooth that was accidentally loosened in Wednesday's 94-70 win over Clemson. Hansbrough went to a dentist yesterday after suffering the injury when he was struck by the elbow of Jerai Grant in a battle for an offensive rebound. A brace was placed on the tooth. Hansbrough will probably have to wear a mouthpiece for the foreseeable future to protect the tooth. He wasn't wearing one when he was hit. (Winston-Salem Journal)
