“So sad for Seth,” says head coach Hubert Davis. “He’s such a great kid and teammate and has worked so hard for his senior year. He loves being a Tar Heel and we love him. The good news is he will be back at some point this year, and I know he will continue to be a great leader for us until he can get back in the lineup.”
Sunday’s game ended on a worrying note for Seth Trimble and his team. The standout player suffered a broken arm following a heavy collision in the second half, forcing him off the field and leaving fans holding their breath.
Team medical staff responded immediately, and Trimble was rushed for further evaluation. Early reports indicate that surgery may be needed, with a recovery timeline stretching several weeks—potentially sidelining him for key upcoming matches.
Trimble has been a driving force for his team this season, making his absence a tough blow. Teammates expressed their full support, emphasizing that a complete recovery is the top priority. Social media has also been flooded with messages from fans wishing him a speedy comeback.
While the team adjusts its lineup in the coming games, everyone will be watching closely, hoping Trimble returns stronger than ever. One thing is certain: his impact on the field will be missed until he’s back in action.
Trimble has played in 104 games as a Tar Heel over the past three-plus seasons. He scored 17 points, and both Davis and Kansas head coach Bill Self singled out his outstanding defensive effort in the Tar Heels’ 87-74 win over the Jayhawks.
