BERRY BROKE HAND AFTER LOSING VIDEO GAME

-

North Carolina senior point guard Joel Berry II punched a door after losing a video game to teammate Theo Pinson and a team manager. That is what caused his broken right hand, which will sideline the preseason All-American for close to four weeks, as previously reported. “He did a silly thing,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams told ESPN on Wednesday in revealing the cause of the injury. “One of his greatest characteri­stics is his competitiv­eness.” Berry, who averaged 14.7 points and 3.6 assists last season, was the Most Outstandin­g Player in last year’s Final Four, leading the Tar Heels to a national championsh­ip.
