Now healthy, former UNC center Sterling Manley considering college, pro basketball options

Posted Jun 9, 2021
Sterling Manley felt like a kid again last weekend in Tampa. The 7-foot former Tar Heel center was a big kid on the court at the Tampa Bay Pro Basketball Combine. He was smiling, laughing, enjoying basketball again, and standing out as a result. An announcement on returning to college or pursuing a pro career is expected in the coming weeks.
