UNC junior forward Kennedy Meeks will miss the next “several weeks” with a bruised knee, according to the university.

A release says doctors have not determined how much time Meeks will miss but say he is expected to miss at least two weeks.

Carolina is set to play UCLA on Saturday before wrapping up the non-conference schedule at home with games versus Appalachian State and UNC-Greensboro.

Conference play begins on December 30 against Clemson.

Meeks is averaging 12.3 points and 7.4 rebounds and is shooting 59.5 percent from the floor in UNC’s first nine games.
