All things considered, Cam Johnson’s left knee felt fine.
But the North Carolina guard was hurting in a different way after his first game with the Tar Heels.
“This really hurts,” Johnson said after UNC lost 79-75 to Wofford on Wednesday. “And to come back and have this be my first game, it hurts a little bit more.”
No. 5 UNC (10-2) will be a different team with a healthy Johnson in the lineup. The Heels face Ohio State (10-3) on Saturday in the CBS Sports Classic in New Orleans.
