Unlikely to be a factor this season Coach Roy Williams doesn't expect Manley (knee) to be a factor in any of the remaining games of the 2020-21 season, Greg Barnes of 247Sports reports. "He's gone up and down probabl...

Impact Manley hasn't appeared in a contest since 2018-19 due to a troublesome knee problem. While Williams seems to be holding out hope that Manley could contribute in a future season, the junior isn't expected to do anything of note in 2020-21 and it's still unclear whether or not he will ever see meaningful minutes again at Chapel Hill.

Back from concussion Harris had six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and a steal across 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 99-54 rout of Louisville.

Impact The Tar Heels were able to empty their entire bench in Saturday's blowout victory, but during that process, Harris was able to log his second-highest scoring total of the season. While healthy, he'll likely be clawing for minutes moving forward for a North Carolina team with a deep backcourt.

Double-doubles off bench Sharpe registered 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal across 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Louisville.

Impact Sharpe only received 17 minutes off the bench -- his fourth straight game in which he played under 20 minutes -- but paced the Tar Heels on offense while also recording his fifth double-double of the campaign. He is averaging 13.8 points and 8.6 rebounds across 19.2 minutes per game in five appearances this month.

Scores season-high 19 points Walton delivered 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block across 24 minutes in Saturday's win over Louisville.

Impact Walton made most of his damage from three-point range, as he drained a season-high five treys while also extending his streak of games with at least two three-point shots to seven contests. He is shooting 52.5 percent from deep in that seven-game span while also scoring 11.4 points per contest.

Doesn't end up playing Manley (knee) did not end up playing in Saturday's 99-54 win over Louisville despite taking part in warmups again.

Impact Manley has been dressed in each of the last four games for but has yet to take the floor. Seeing that he didn't play despite Saturday's game being a blowout should entail that he likely won't end up making an appearance this season after undergoing knee surgery in December of 2019.

Warming up again Manley (knee) is in uniform for warmups again ahead of Saturday's game against Louisville, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manley is warming up for the second straight contest, which could be an indication that the junior big man is drawing close to a return to action. Even if he makes his way back to the floor Saturday, he's likely to play minimal minutes as he continues to work his way back from a devastating knee injury.

In uniform and warming up Harris (concussion) is in uniform and is going through warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Louisville, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harris suffered a concussion in the loss to Virginia on Feb. 13 and was forced to miss Wednesday's matchup against Northeastern while still in protocol. He's in uniform and warming up ahead of tip-off which should translate well for his potential availability in Saturday's game.

Productive in limited minutes Kessler notched 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 12 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Northeastern.

Impact Kessler only logged 12 minutes but made the most of them as he delivered his best game of the season by a wide margin. He has racked up 19 points and 12 rebounds over his last two appearances off the bench and might be ready to play a bigger role in the upcoming games.

Delivers double-double Brooks registered 11 points (4-13 FG, 3-4 FT) and 13 rebounds across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win over Northeastern.

Impact The Tar Heels played 14 different guys in Wednesday's win, but Brooks was one of the standout performers -- he was one of four players that scored in double digits while also pacing the team in rebounds. He had a rough shooting performance, but that might have been an anomaly since he has made 46 percent of his field goals over his last five contests.

Doesn't take floor Manley (knee) remained sidelined for Wednesday's game against Northeastern despite dressing for the contest.

Impact This contest would have been a good opportunity for Manley to get in some action if he was ready, but it appears the junior isn't there yet. There are still some questions regarding whether or not his knee will ever be in good enough shape to allow him back into action, but his recent participation in practice is at least a positive sign.

In uniform Wednesday Manley (knee) is in uniform for Wednesday's game against Northeastern, but is uncertain to play.

Impact Manley continues to try to work his way back from a knee injury. He has been in uniform other times recently, but ultimately did not suit up. A weaker opponent could provide a chance to get Manley some minutes, however.
