Armando Bacot - Questionable for Saturday Bacot (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with Louisville, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bacot was unable to practice on Thursday, but Tarheels head coach, Hubert Davis, was impressed at how well he could move around. If the senior center, who has averaged 17.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this season, is ultimately unable to suit up, his next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against Boston College.

Pete Nance - Questionable Saturday Nance (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Louisville, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nance has missed the last two games due to a back injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return for Saturday's matchup. If he's sidelined once again, Seth Trimble will likely continue to start for the Tar Heels.

RJ Davis - Goes for 16 points Tuesday Davis ended Tuesday's 65-58 loss to Virginia with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes.
Impact Davis was one of the Tar Heels' best players during the loss, and he continues to produce at a steady rate for UNC -- he has now scored at least 15 points in five of his last six contests. Expect him to play a bigger role going forward in case Armando Bacot ends up missing considerable time due to the ankle injury he suffered against the Cavaliers.

Jalen Washington - Steps up with Bacot out Washington provided 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 65-58 loss to Virginia.
Impact Washington struggled with a knee injury early in his freshman season and missed the first nine games as a result. He was then limited to six minutes or less over his next seven games, sitting out two entirely. His number was called Tuesday, however, as star center Armando Bacot went down with an ankle injury after just one minute of play. While X-rays on Bacot's ankle came back negative, Washington still appears to be in line to serve as the primary center for as long as Bacot is sidelined, presumably starting with Saturday's matchup against Louisville.

Armando Bacot - 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.

Armando Bacot - 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.
