[I]Adrian Autry will learn later today about the physical condition of Peter Carey, the Syracuse basketball center who did not play in Saturday’s game because of an injury he sustained during Friday’s practice.

Autry has talked this season about redshirting Will Patterson, the 7-foot-2 rookie from Brooklyn. Initially, the plan was to redshirt Patterson because the Orange was bursting with center options.

But as the weeks and the injuries piled up, Autry acknowledged during Monday’s ACC Zoom with reporters that he has considered allowing Patterson to play this season. The Orange has seven games left before the ACC Tournament.

“I actually was thinking about what the risk/reward is as far as thinking of something like that with Will,” Autry said, “but we’re gonna stick to the plan and move forward. I think Mournir’s going to have to play a little bit more and hopefully Peter can get back as quick as possible.”

Hima has played spot minutes this season. At 6-11 and 230 pounds, he is one of SU’s bigger, more physical players. Autry said he is “fine” physically.

“He has some issues running, moving, mobility issues,” Autry said. “But for the most part, he’s trying, he’s toughing it out, he’s fighting it through. And he’s been biting at the chomp to get his opportunity so this would be a chance for him to get his opportunity.”[/I]
