UNC basketball braces to play without its leader, Armando Bacot. Who fills his shoes? The Tar Heels’ leading scorer and rebounder, Bacot was injured early in the game against Virginia on Tuesday. He’s missed only two full game...
Receives X-rays on ankle Bacot (ankle) underwent X-rays that came back negative, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact It appears that Bacot has avoided a major injury to his ankle after exiting Tuesday's game against Virginia. The 6-foot-11 senior has been a scoring machine for the Tar Heels this season, in which he is averaging 17.6 points while shooting 56.7 percent from the field. Bacot is still experiencing significant swelling and will be questionable for Saturday's showdown with Louisville.

Logs just one minute due to injury Bacot (ankle) ultimately did not return to the court Tuesday against Virginia, finishing with one rebound in one minute of action.
Impact While Bacot wasn't facing a great fantasy matchup Tuesday night, it was still an incredibly difficult break for managers who decided to deploy him. The Tar Heels have a soft road matchup next up Saturday at Louisville, and Bacot should likely be considered questionable, at best, for that tilt. Should he end up sitting, 6-10 freshman Jalen Washington would be the best candidate to see the start, as he logged an impressive 13 points and six boards in relief of Bacot on Tuesday.

Exits game with injury Bacot isn't going through second-half warmups for Tuesday's game versus Virginia due to ankle injury, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bacot exited Tuesday's game early in the first half but was expected to retake the floor. However, with him missing from warmups, it seems like he'll be unable to return. Jalen Washington has seen extended playing time in Bacot's absence.

Another double-double Bacot finished with 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 81-64 win over Notre Dame.
Impact Bacot has been a two-way machine for the Tar Heels this season and recorded his fifth double-double across seven appearances since the start of December.

Another excellent showing Bacot racked up 21 points (7-11 FG, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 88-79 victory over Wake Forest.
Impact Bacot continues to make a solid case to get nominated for the ACC Player of the Year award with another dominant display Wednesday, as he reached the 20-point mark for the fourth straight game and also came one rebound away from recording what would've been his fifth double-double in his last six contests. Bacot is averaging 22.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in that six-game span.
