Hip injury could sideline David Wear for the season

North Carolina freshman forward David Wear will likely be sidelined in Wednesday’s Florida State match with an injured hip and could be out for the season, The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported.

Coach Roy Williams said Wear could have a labrum tear in his hip, but the team is awaiting test results that might be available this afternoon.

Williams also said the injury was not sustained while playing basketball and that the “clicking” sound in his hip has been bothering Wear.

The 6-foot-10 post player joins a list of UNC players who have been injured this season. Ed Davis is likely out for the season with an injured wrist, and David’s brother Travis Wear has not seen court action since Feb. 7 at Maryland.
