Harrison Barnes sprained his left ankle in the first half of No. 5 North Carolina’s 68-53 win over Wake Forest on Tuesday night.

Barnes limped to the bench with 7:49 left in the first half after he rolled his ankle while running down the court during a fast break.

After getting his ankle taped in the locker room, he played the final 1:23 of the first half and 15 minutes in the second half, finishing with 13 points and seven rebounds.

“I think it was just a freak accident,” Barnes said in the locker room afterwards. “I can’t really feel it. It’s a little numb. … Rest and ice, hopefully that will make it feel better.”
