CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina junior forward Jawad Williams is very doubtful for Wednesday's (Jan. 14) game at the University of Maryland. Williams suffered a broken nose and has a post-traumatic headache following a collision in Sunday evening's win over Georgia Tech.

Indications Monday showed that Williams did not suffer a concussion, but further tests will be done Tuesday. He may or may not travel with the team to College Park Tuesday evening.
Williams suffered a concussion in Carolina's Dec. 28 game against UNC Wilmington when he took an elbow to the side of his face. He also received three stitches in his right eyelid after being elbowed in the win over Miami on January 7.
Williams was injured with 18:21 left in the second half of Sunday's game against Georgia Tech and did not return to action.
The Cleveland, Ohio, native is third on the Tar Heels in scoring at 15.3 points per game and is second in rebounding at 7.2 per contest.
He missed one game (Dec. 30 against Coastal Carolina) due to the concussion he received on December 28.
