Puff Johnson - Warming up, unlikely to play Johnson (hip) is taking part in warmups ahead of Furman but seems unlikely to play Tuesday versus Furman, Brendan Marks of The Athleticreports.

Impact Even if Johnson is unable to suit up, the fact that he's taking part in warmups is a good sign of progress for the sophomore, who hasn't appeared in a game this season and saw action in just 14 games last season. Even when he is clear to rejoin the action, Johnson may not be in line for a consistent role in the rotation.

Caleb Love - Puts up 22 points in win Love had 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 80-63 victory over Elon.

Impact Love has scored exactly 22 points in four different games this season, and while he hasn't been able to surpass that mark, he's certainly one of the best players in the Tar Heels roster and holds a prominent role on offense. He's averaging 16.9 points per game, quite an uptick compared to the 10.5 points per game he averaged as a freshman in 2020-21.

Dawson Garcia - Shines in win over Elon Garcia contributed 22 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 80-63 win over Elon.

Impact Garcia has surpassed the 20-point mark twice this season, but he has also recorded five games in which he posted single-digit scoring numbers. The sophomore transfer has struggled with consistency in what has been his first year in the ACC, but he's shown glimpses of the kind of player he can become. He's averaging 11.3 points per game so far.

Armando Bacot - Fifth double-double of season Bacot closed Sunday's 79-62 victory over Georgia Tech with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes.

Impact Bacot was one of the best players for the Tar Heels in this contest and was able to deliver another double-double -- his second straight and his third one over his last four appearances. The junior is averaging 15.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game -- both are career-high marks for him.
