P.J. Hairston plays career-high minutes after left hand injury

Posted Mar 16, 2013
P.J. Hairston received eight stitches to the webbing of his left hand between his middle and ring fingers after suffering an injury late in Friday’s 83-62 Tar Heels’ quarterfinal win over Florida State. At the time, Hairston was no better than a game time decision for Saturday’s 79-76 semifinal victory over Maryland. But Hairston warmed up, started and scored 13 points in a career-high 36 minutes.
