Theo Pinson out indefinitely after breaking bone in right foot

Theo Pinson, a junior wing on the North Carolina men's basketball team, is out indefinitely after breaking a bone in his right foot, the team announced Friday.

Pinson broke the bone in practice earlier this week, and there is no timetable for his return. He suffered the same injury in his left foot in high school, an injury he re-aggravated during his first season in Chapel Hill.

The 6-foot-6, 211-pound junior from Greensboro played in all 40 games for the Tar Heels last season, averaging 4.5 points per game and leading the team in assists per minute.
