UNC's Henri Veesaar Questionable for Syracuse
Key Points:
- North Carolina center Henri Veesaar is making progress recovering from a lower extremity injury but remains questionable for Saturday's game against Syracuse, with limited practice planned before a final decision.
- Veesaar has missed the last two games due to the injury and a prior illness, and has not practiced since the loss at Miami 10 days ago; his availability is uncertain as UNC faces a critical stretch.
- The Tar Heels are already without projected lottery pick Caleb Wilson (fractured hand), James Brown (season-ending foot surgery), and Ivan Matlekovic (undisclosed injury), putting pressure on reserves Jarin Stevenson and Zayden High to fill the frontcourt.
- Veesaar is a key contributor, ranking second
