Indiana basketball head coach Mike Woodson provided a few injury updates ahead of the Hoosiers' matchup with No. 18 North Carolina on Wednesday.

Indiana has been without guard Trey Galloway for the last three games after injuring his knee in the win against Xavier. Preseason All-American forward Trayce Jackson-Davis missed one game earlier last week and has been dealing with a back and thumb injury. Anthony Leal has missed some time with an ankle injury as well.

As for Jackson-Davis, Woodson said that he practiced on Monday but his status was still a bit up in the air.

"He practiced yesterday, so I haven't been down on the floor today or even talked to the trainer today," Woodson said on Tuesday. "I'll give him a call here in a minute just to evaluate him and see where he is for practice today. So I won't know that till a little later on."

Jackson-Davis is averaging 18.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game. He is also shooting 76 percent from the field to start the season.

"Well, again, you go through bumps and bruises when you play this game," Woodson continued. "I don't know if he took a fall or what, but I noticed it a few games right before the Little Rock game, him over there sitting uncomfortably. I don't know if it was his tailbone or something that was going on. At the end of the day if he can't play, it's next man up."

Jackson-Davis is adamant that he will be on the floor on Wednesday, however.

"Obviously I'm not 100 percent but I will be playing tomorrow. It's a huge game. I'm playing tomorrow. You'll all wanna get that out there," Jackson-Davis added. ""You'd have to take me out on a stretcher... I live for playing in these big-time matchups."

As for Galloway, it appears he could be close to returning to action on Wednesday. While he has not played in the last three games, he was out for warmups ahead of the Jackson State win.

"He practiced yesterday. I mean, he looked pretty good. But, again, I haven't talked to the trainer this morning to see how he actually feels. These guys are still in class right now," Woodson said. "We have a late practice, so I'll know a little bit later on. If he feels pretty good, we'll suit him up tomorrow and play him."

Woodson added on his radio show on Monday that "Galloway I think will be back."

Galloway is averaging 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season.

Indiana takes on North Carolina in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday night at 9:15 pm ET on ESPN.
