RALEIGH, N.C. -- Terry Henderson was supposed to be in a leading role for NC State's backcourt this season. Instead, the West Virginia transfer is just trying to move laterally through pain and cut without limping during limited practice drills.
The 6-foot-5 junior guard is recovering from a serious opening-night ankle injury that required surgery, but time is running out for him to make it back as NC State pushes into the final full month of the regular season. Even Henderson is unsure when -- or whether -- he will make it back this season.
