Ty Lawson, Deon Thompson still questionable for Saturday

Posted Feb 29, 2008

UNC point guard Ty Lawson, who has missed six games with a sprained left ankle, went through mostly non-contract drills during Thursday's practice (although he also went down the court 4-on-4 once and 5-on-5 twice). Could that mean he's closer to returning? Meanwhile, starting power forward Deon Thompson, who has a hyperextended knee and sore back, is also questionable to play. (Raleigh News & Observer)
