It’s been a wild ride for Hubert Davis since taking over at North Carolina in 2021. In just a few seasons, he’s experienced the full spectrum of college basketball — from the highs of a national championship run in his debut year to winning the ACC tournament in his third to the lows of missing the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 preseason team and getting knocked out in the first round after starting a season ranked No. 9. Coach Davis has seen it all. It seems like the road ahead isn’t getting any smoother…

According to an official update from the University of North Carolina, senior captain Seth Trimble suffered a broken bone in his left forearm during a team workout on Sunday afternoon. He is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week, and the exact timeline for his return will be determined once the procedure is complete.

It’s a huge blow for the Tar Heels, who were riding high after a statement win over Bill Self’s Kansas, led by projected NBA lottery pick Darryn Peterson. That victory wouldn’t have been possible without their captain, Seth Trimble, setting the tone on both ends of the floor. Now, with Trimble sidelined, Hubert Davis faces a tough challenge to find the right pieces to replace his leadership and impact. And that’s not going to be an easy task.

Fans were stunned when the news broke, and it didn’t take long for social media to fill with messages of support and encouragement for Seth Trimble.

“Can’t replace his defensive presence. So sad for him,” one fan said
