UNC announced Sunday afternoon that point guard Kendall Marshall will not play in the Tar Heels' Elite Eight matchup vs. Kansas.

Marshall fractured his right wrist last Sunday in the Tar Heels' win against Creighton and underwent surgery on Monday.

He returned to UNC practice on Saturday, but did not participate in any contact drills.

"The first two times we went up the court, doing the warm-up drill, I was going as fast as I could," Marshall said Saturday. "I was out of breath, and I was, like, 'I've got to slow down. We've still got a full practice ahead of us.' Sitting down for six days straight, not being able to do anything, that's been frustrating. It felt good just to get out there and move around.

"I definitely felt the pain, but there's going to be pain there for the next six weeks. It's just a matter of how much I can take."

Here's what UNC coach Roy Williams had to say Saturday about the decision to play Marshall:

"Now," Williams said, "we want to see if it bothers him or if it pains him or if it swells up or if his toes curls or whatever happens next. And then (Sunday) at (the) shoot-around, we'll try to probably do the same thing. "And then, there's two things that have to happen. One, he has to feel comfortable that he's not hurting. And then two, I have to decide: Can he be effective in the game with his situation?"

Looks like at least one of the answers was no.

Freshman Stilman White will start in Marshall's place. White started Friday's game against Ohio.
