North Carolina coach Roy Williams says 7-footer Tyler Zeller will
miss four to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his right
foot.
The sophomore is averaging 9.6 points and 4.6 rebounds off
the bench for the 12th-ranked Tar Heels.
Zeller missed Wednesday's loss at Clemson as a precaution.
The next day, a bone scan revealed the injury after MRIs showed
nothing earlier this week.
It is the second straight season Zeller will miss significant
time. Last year, he broke his left wrist during an early-season
victory against Kentucky. He was out three months, but decided to
use a year of eligibility and return to help the Tar Heels win the
national championship.
