Injury update: 3 UNC athletes hurt during break

Quinshad Davis

North Carolina junior wide receiver Quinshad Davis fractured his right tibia Dec. 26 against Rutgers in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit. Davis underwent successful surgery the next day performed by Dr. Jeffrey Spang and will miss spring training, but should be ready for the 2015 season opener.

The Gaffney, S.C. native is currently tied with former Tar Heel Hakeem Nicks for most career touchdown receptions with 21.

Xylina McDaniel

North Carolina women’s basketball forward Xylina McDaniel is out indefinitely with a lower right leg injury she sustained Dec. 21 against Elon. The Tar Heels will re-evaluate her after surgery to determine whether or not she will be able to play again this season.

The junior from Columbia, S.C. received Preseason All-ACC honors and averaged 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds before the injury.

Sasha Seymore

Sasha Seymore, a forward on the No. 18 North Carolina men’s basketball team, tore his right ACL against Alabama-Birmingham Dec. 27.

A walk-on in his first season with the team, Seymore is also a Morehead-Cain Scholarship recipient. He currently serves as senior class president.

Seymore recently received the Mitchell Scholarship for post-graduate research.
