Ty Lawson to miss State game

Posted Feb 19, 2008

North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson's sprained left ankle is feeling better -- but not good enough to play against N.C. State on Wednesday. Lawson's four-game (so far) absence is the longest by a UNC starter since Rashad McCants missed four games with an intestinal disorder in 2005. But Williams nixed the notion that Lawson is being overly cautious about his return, with an eye toward an NBA future. (Raleigh News & Observer)
