North Carolina freshman guard Cole Anthony was seen in a Bahamas airport wearing a boot on his right foot, according to Inside Carolina’s Ross Martin.

Anthony, who leads the Tar Heels with 20.7 points per game this season, appeared to favor his right foot or ankle in Friday’s game against Oregon in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament.

He finished the game, so the boot could just be for precautionary reasons.

Anthony has led the Tar Heels in scoring in six of their seven games. He is also averaging 7.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game. The sixth-ranked Tar Heels play No. 10 Ohio State on Wednesday at home.
