UNC freshman Harris out for season with torn ACL
North Carolina freshman guard Anthony Harris has a torn ACL in his right knee and will undergo season-ending surgery next week.
Harris suffered the ailment on Dec. 30 against Yale when his knee buckled as he drove to the basket.
It's the second major knee injury for the first-year guard. Harris tore the ACL in his left knee during high school, which caused him to miss the first eight games of this season.
"This is one of the most heartbreaking injuries one of my teams has ever dealt with," Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams said. "Anthony is such a great kid and his teammates and coaches have all seen the countless hours he put in to come back from the knee injury he suffered in high school.
"The impact on our locker room after the Yale game was devastating. Everyone associated with our program hurts for Anthony and his family. But we will rally around him and support him every step of the way. I know he will work unbelievably hard to get back on the floor."
Harris averaged 6.8 points in five games this season for North Carolina.
