Chapel Hill -- North Carolina senior guard Marcus Ginyard sprained his right ankle during practice Saturday and will not play tonight against Rutgers. He is also listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Albany.

Ginyard is Carolina's third-leading scorer with 11.0 points per game. He leads the team in steals (19) and is second in assists (47) and three-pointers made (15). He sat out the Presbyterian game on December 12 due to a bruised left foot.
