He was listed as a game-time decision.
The senior forward has missed four contests due to a stress reaction in his right shin. He has also been nursing a sore left ankle.
Hansbrough did not play in North Carolina's 116-48 destruction of North Carolina-Asheville on Sunday.
Last season's consensus National Player of the Year is averaging 21 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Tar Heels.
