Posted Jan 15, 2010
Sophomore center Tyler Zeller has a stress fracture in the third metatarsal of his right foot, Roy Williams announced Friday. The UNC doctors indicated that the normal length of time for recovery is 4-6 weeks. “We don’t know if it will be that long, we don’t know if it will be longer,” Williams told reporters after offering the possible recovery time. “It just depends on how [everything] reacts to the healing process."
