'No status' on Ty Lawson for Duke game

Posted Mar 8, 2009
North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson missed practice Saturday because of a sore left big toe, and a team spokesman said there is "no status" update on whether he will play against seventh-ranked Duke on Sunday. Lawson, an ACC Player of the Year candidate, stubbed the toe early in Friday's practice and left early on a crutch. X-rays were negative, and the team was hopeful he would be able to play.
