Monday will be “a big day,” Theo Pinson said on Sunday – the day when he finds out, after days and weeks of optimism, how he has healed in the four and a half weeks since he broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
If the x-ray looks good, Pinson said, a CT scan would follow later in the week. And if that looks good, “it's on and rolling,” he said.
What that means isn't exactly clear, though it'd likely mean that Pinson, the North Carolina forward, is on schedule – or perhaps even ahead of schedule – to return at some point this season, perhaps sooner than later.
