North Carolina senior guard Marcus Paige, a preseason All-America selection, will miss 3-4 weeks after suffering an injury to his right hand, the university announced late Wednesday afternoon. Paige is left-handed.
The temporary loss of Paige, the team's captain, presents concern for North Carolina, which tied for No. 1 in the preseason Coaches Poll and was voted alone at No. 1 in the Associated Press poll.
