Ja'Quan Newton hurt in Hurricanes' loss to Carolina

All season, Ja'Quan Newton has been one of Miami's biggest contributors, earning praise from coaches, teammates, and even college basketball analyst Dick Vitale who has, more than once, called him the best sixth man in the country.

But as the Hurricanes try to move forward after Saturday's brutal 96-71 loss to North Carolina, there's plenty of uncertainty about how much Newton will contribute when Miami hosts two ranked opponents next week.

Newton, a sophomore guard, was hurt in the second half of the Hurricanes' loss and left the court barely able to put weight on his left leg.
