Ex-Pitt guard Johnson has knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina says point guard Joel Berry will make his season debut against Bucknell while guard Cameron Johnson will miss at least four weeks after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Team spokesman Steve Kirschner announced both updates about an hour before the ninth-ranked Tar Heels (1-0) were to tip off against the Bison on Wednesday night.
Johnson had the procedure earlier in the day. He’s a graduate transfer from Pittsburgh who also didn’t play against UNI with a sprained neck.
