Rechon Black - Available Sunday Black (non-covid illness) is available for Sunday's contest against Tennessee.

RJ Davis - Decent output despite loss Davis ended Saturday's 93-84 loss to Purdue with 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes.

Impact Davis was one of three starters that scored over 15 points for the Tar Heels in this one, but his efforts were not enough. While he's obviously gifted on the offensive side of the ball, he needs to be more consistent to experience an uptick on his upside.

Dawson Garcia - Scores 26 in loss Garcia posted 26 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 93-84 loss to Purdue.

Impact Garcia has started each of the Tar Heels' last three games and this performance really came out of nowhere, as he had scored 26 points combined over his first three contests. It remains to be seen if he'll be this involved going forward, but he has proven he has the talent to make an impact on the offensive end of the court when he chooses to.

Puff Johnson - Doesn't play again Johnson (hip) didn't take the floor during Saturday's game against Purdue.

Impact Johnson warmed up ahead of Tuesday's game versus College of Charleston but didn't wind up playing then either. Considering the sophomore isn't guaranteed to be part of the regular rotation, it's unclear if Johnson is still dealing with an injury or if he's simply buried down the depth chart with some close games on the schedule.

Kerwin Walton - Moves to starting lineup Walton is starting Saturday's game against Purdue.

Impact Walton moves to the starting lineup with Leaky Black (illness) sidelined, and this will be his first start of the campaign. He's gotten off to a solid start on the year, averaging 10.0 points per game while shooting 55 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from deep.

Rechon Black - Not playing Saturday Black is dealing with a non-COVID illness and won't play Saturday at Purdue.

Impact Losing Black in a huge matchup against Purdue, one of the best teams in the country, is a big blow for the Tar Heels. He'll have a few days to recover and his status will probably be re-assessed before the team's next game against UNC-Asheville next Tuesday.

Brady Manek - Shines off bench for UNC Manek had 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 94-83 victory over Charleston.

Impact Manek was UNC's third-best scorer on the night and ended just one board away from a double-double, so it's safe to say this was clearly his best game of the season. He has scored at least 14 points in each game so far and the fact that he's been coming off the bench in the last two does nothing but solidify his fantasy upside even more.

Armando Bacot - Records double-double Bacot logged 24 points (10-12 FG, 4-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 94-83 victory over Charleston.

Impact Bacot was tipped to be one of the most productive big men in the ACC this season, and so far, he hasn't disappointed the experts who believed in him -- as well as the fantasy managers who trust him every time UNC steps on the hardwood. He has recorded two double-doubles in three games thus far and is making a huge impact on both ends of the court. As if that wasn't enough, he's also shooting an excellent 82.1 percent from the field.

Puff Johnson - Doesn't end up playing Johnson (hip) did not end up playing in Tuesday's 94-83 win over the College of Charleston.

Impact Johnson went through warmups ahead of Tuesday's tip but ultimately did not see the floor. It's unclear if the 6-8 sophomore is still dealing with an injury or merely didn't play due to a coach's decision as the Tar Heels were never really able to run away with the victory. Johnson's next chance to make his season debut would be Saturday against No. 6 Purdue, although it's highly unlikely that will happen.
