Former North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall is training for the NBA draft at the IMG Basketball Academy in Florida, and he has some good news: He has nearly fully recovered from the broken wrist he suffered during the Tar Heels’ victory against Creighton in the NCAA tournament.

In an interview posted on the academy’s website earlier today, Marshall said, “My wrist is almost 100 percent.”

And then came this revelation: “What people didn’t know is that I also fractured my elbow. That’s been the toughest thing for me to deal with, still not being able to go full contact. Hopefully, I’ll be ready to go by the [NBA scouting] combine.”

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina held its annual postseason basketball awards ceremony last Thursday night. And for some reason, I missed the release about it. My apologies. Senior forward Tyler Zeller and sophomore point guard Kendall Marshall received co-MVP honors during the ceremony, which was closed to the public and to the media.

Zeller at the end of the regular season received ACC Player of the Year honors while Marshall, who set an ACC single-season record with 351 assists, earned second-team All-ACC honors. Marshall joined sophomore forward Harrison Barnes and junior forward John Henson in leaving school early to enter the NBA draft.

Zeller and fellow senior Justin Watts were named permanent captains for the 2011-12 Tar Heels.

Here’s the complete list of winners:

CHAPEL HILL — Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Kendall Marshall are leaving North Carolina and will enter the NBA draft, the school announced in a statement on Thursday.

Barnes, a forward, and Marshall, a point guard, are both foregoing their final two years of eligibility. Henson is leaving the Tar Heels, meanwhile, after his junior season.

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina sophomore Kendall Marshall on Thursday was named the recipient of the 2012 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top point guard.

Marshall joins Raymond Felton (2005) and Ty Lawson (2009) as Tar Heels who have won the Cousy Award.

ST. LOUIS — Kendall Marshall will not play today when North Carolina plays against Kansas in the NCAA tournament Midwest regional final. Marshall, the sophomore point guard, suffered a broken bone in his right wrist in a victory a week ago against Creighton.

ST. LOUIS — Kendall Marshall doesn’t know if he might play on Sunday when North Carolina plays Kansas in the NCAA tournament Midwest regional semifinals. Marshall is hopeful, of course, but he said here earlier today that he wouldn’t play if UNC had a game today.

Marshall suffered a broken bone in his right wrist six days ago during the Tar Heels’ victory against Creighton. Here’s what Marshall had to say, in his own words, on a variety of topics:

ST. LOUIS — Kendall Marshall participated on a limited basis in North Carolina’s practice on Saturday but he said he would not have played had the Tar Heels had a game to play on Saturday. The Tar Heels will play Kansas at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday afternoon in the NCAA tournament Midwest regional finals.

Kendall Marshall will not play against Ohio tonight and Stilman White will start at point guard, North Carolina just announced.

White, the freshman from Wilmington, will share time at point guard with Justin Watts. White played a career-high 11 minutes against Nicholls in December and has averaged 5.0 minutes per game in the postseason.

Marshall broke a bone in his right wrist in Sunday's win over Creighton. His status for this game was uncertain until 5:30 p.m. local time and remains uncertain should North Carolina advance to face Kansas or N.C. State.

ST. LOUIS — It was before North Carolina’s practice on Tuesday when Kendall Marshall first became aware of the “pass first” movement in his honor. While checking his Twitter feed, Marshall came across a message somebody had sent to him – a picture of a “5” written on a wrist with the hash tag: “passfir5t.”

Marshall “re-tweeted” the message, sending it out to his 65,000 followers.

“And then just like a bunch of people started sending them in,” Marshall said. “I was like, ‘Wow. This is really catching on.’”

It seems like months ago now, but it was only March 9 in Atlanta during the ACC Tournament that the pressing question about UNC’s season wasn’t Kendall Marshall’s injured wrist. It was the left wrist of forward John Henson.

In Thursday’s interview session, the condition of Henson’s wrist came up once.
