UNC's Veesaar: Game-Time Decision vs. Syracuse
21 Feb
Summary
- Veesaar to practice in limited fashion Friday.
- He has missed the last two games for the Tar Heels.
- Veesaar averages 16.4 points and 9 rebounds.

North Carolina center Henri Veesaar's availability for Saturday's game against Syracuse is still in question. Head coach Hubert Davis stated on Friday that Veesaar would practice in a limited capacity. Veesaar has been sidelined for the Tar Heels' previous two contests, during which the team achieved a 1-1 record. He was a late scratch for the win against Pittsburgh due to flu symptoms and a monitored lower-body issue.
Veesaar's absence was also noted for the recent loss to NC State. Despite these setbacks, he has been a significant contributor this season, averaging 16.4 points, 61.5 percent shooting from the field, and 9 rebounds per game. His strong performance has led to projections as a potential first-round NBA Draft pick in 2026.
