Injury bug bites Tar Heels again...this time it's signee Marcus Paige
Posted Apr 3, 2012
North Carolina’s basketball season is over, but apparently the Tar Heels’ injury epidemic is still going strong. The latest to be affected is top prospect Marcus Paige. Paige, a 6-foot-1 point guard who is expected to replace single-season assist leader Kendall Marshall in UNC’s revamped lineup next season, was scratched from the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore., on Monday because of a undisclosed foot injury.
