Lawson getting better just in time for Tar Heels' NCAA push

Posted Mar 23, 2008

Ty Lawson sat down in the UNC locker room and began untying the black brace wrapped snugly around his left ankle. After he removed it, he propped his foot on a chair and a trainer wrapped an ice bag around it. For the record, Lawson said his achy ankle feels OK heading into Sunday's NCAA tournament game against an Arkansas team that also likes to run. Still, from watching his post-practice icing ritual, it's not completely out of mind, either. (Fayetteville Observer)
