Leslie McDonald, who told reporters earlier this week that he's back to 100 percent approximately 11 months after the injury, says he's looking forward to playing in this year's Pro Am in a few weeks. "Freak accidents happen," McDonald said Wednesday. "It could have happened anywhere. It could have happened in a game. It could have happened in practice.The pro-am is not the reason why I hurt myself." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
