Trimble’s ailment was officially listed by the school as “upper body” when he did not suit up for the squad on Tuesday night against Clemson. Davis has not provided an explanation for Trimble’s absence from action. Inside Carolina has learned from sources that Trimble was unintentionally struck in the head by a teammate on Monday during a collision during practice.

UNC suffered its first home loss of the season, falling to Clemson 80-76, while Trimble was away.

Following the team’s defeat to the Tigers, Davis declared, “We would have loved to have Seth available. His athleticism and energy, the way that he can defend, having another guy on the perimeter that from an offensive standpoint, his ability to be able to attack the basket and have another guard out there.”
