UNC's Veesaar increasing practice work ahead of Syracuse game; Wilson due for evaluation next week

Henri Veesaar would return to limited practice Friday while freshman star Caleb Wilson will have another evaluation next week as both players recover from injuries, North Carolina coach Hubert Davis said. Davis said the 7-foot Veesaar returned to individual workouts Thursday and the team would see how he handled more practice work Friday as he deals with a lower-body injury. Davis called the junior questionable for the 16th-ranked Tar Heels’ game at Syracuse on Saturday.
