UNC's Ty Lawson unlikely to play

Posted Mar 13, 2009
UNC point guard Ty Lawson did not practice Thursday, a team spokesman said, and is unlikely to play when the top-seed Tar Heels play No. 8 seed Virginia Tech on Friday in the ACC tournament quarterfinals. "We don't think he'll play, but we don't want to rule it out completely until we see how he does in the morning,'' spokesman Steve Kirschner said in a message. Lawson jammed his right big toe during last Friday's practice (Raleigh News & Observer)
