UNC’s Armando Bacot Seen Walking With Slight Limp Before National Championship Game

Despite suffering an ankle injury just two days prior, Armando Bacot is set to play against Kansas in the national title game, but the UNC big man may not be 100%.

A video emerged on social media prior to Monday night’s tip-off showing Bacot walking with a slight limp on his way to the court.

According to multiple beat reporters, Bacot appeared to be moving gingerly during warm-ups and kept his activity light.

Bacot briefly exited the Tar Heels’s win over Duke on Saturday night after rolling his right ankle with 5:18 left to play. He returned at the 4:36 mark following a brief stay on the sidelines and finished the rest of the game.
