OL’ ROY RECOVERING FROM SHOULDER SURGERY TO REPAIR “GOLF INJURY”

North Carolina Tar Heels coach Roy Williams is recovering after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder.

Williams had surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum, an injury he sustained in early October when he slipped on a wet step at a golf course during a charity event. The surgery lasted 90 minutes and Williams returned home later in the day.

(Rumor on the street is that the golf injury is a cover and Ol’ Roy was actually run over by an angry Duke fan while crossing the street in Chapel Hill. Sources close to T.A.H. and the UNC basketball program are working furiously to confirm this alleged event.)

Williams will wear a sling on his left arm for about four weeks and undergo several months of rehabilitation. He is expected to coach Sunday when he goes for his 600th career victory against Nevada.

The Tar Heels (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) didn't practice Tuesday.
