Louisville Basketball Suffers Another Injury
It’s been a tough season for the Louisville Cardinals and it just got worse with another injury. This time, it’s forward Jordan Nwora who suffered a dislocated right elbow in Louisville’s loss to Michigan State
The Louisville Cardinals Basketball team suffered another injury this week when center Malik Williams broke his left foot during a practice. This is the second major injury to the team in the past two weeks, as star guard Darius Perry broke his right hand last week.
Both players are expected to miss significant time, with Williams likely out for 4-6 weeks and Perry expected to miss 6-8 weeks. This is a big blow to the Cardinals, who were already facing an uphill battle to make the NCAA tournament this season.
The team will now have to rely even more heavily on its few healthy players, including junior forward Jordan Nwora and freshman guard David Johnson. It will be a tall task for them to keep the Cardinals afloat in the tough ACC conference.
Another Louisville player has gone down with an injury. This time it is center Mangok Mathiang, who suffered a broken foot in practice on Thursday.
This is just the latest in a long line of injuries for the Cardinals, who have been decimated by them this season. They have already lost four players to season-ending injuries, and Mathiang’s injury will likely sideline him for at least a few weeks.
It has been a tough season for Louisville, and things don’t seem to be getting any better.
The Louisville Cardinals basketball team has suffered another injury, this time to center Jaylen Johnson. Johnson is the second player to go down with an injury in the past week, after forward V.J. King broke his thumb in practice.
This latest string of injuries comes as a blow to the Cardinals, who are already without star guard Donovan Mitchell who is out with a stress fracture in his foot. With Johnson out, Louisville will have to rely even more heavily on forward Deng Adel and guard Quentin Snider to carry the load offensively.
The Cardinals are currently 15-4 on the season and sit atop the ACC standings. They will take on Syracuse on Saturday in a key conference matchup.
The Louisville Basketball team suffered another injury on Wednesday night, when forward V.J. King went down with a sprained ankle in the first half of the Cardinals’ game against Syracuse.
King, who was averaging 9.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game entering Wednesday night’s contest, is the third Louisville player to suffer a season-ending injury this season, joining forwards Jaylen Johnson and Mangok Mathiang.
Another Louisville basketball player has gone down with an injury. This time it is forward Jaylen Johnson who has suffered a dislocated pinky finger. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
It seems like Louisville basketball just can’t catch a break as another key player suffers an injury. Senior center Malik Williams will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot, the school announced on Tuesday.
This is a brutal blow for the Cardinals, who were already thin in the frontcourt after losing junior forward Jordan Nwora to a broken bone in his left foot earlier this season. Williams was averaging 9.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while playing a team-high 25.2 minutes per contest.
Without Williams and Nwora, Louisville will likely have to rely even more on freshman center Aidan Igiehon and junior forward Dwayne Sutton. Igiehon has shown some promise this season, but Sutton has been up-and-down and will now be asked to play out of position at center.
The Cardinals are scheduled to take on Syracuse on Wednesday night, but it’s unclear if they will have Williams or Nwora available. Even if they do suit up, Louisville will be severely shorthanded against the Orange.
The Louisville basketball team has been ravaged by injuries this season, and they suffered another one today when it was announced that forward David Johnson will miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL.
This is a crushing blow to a team that was already thin on depth, and it will likely mean that they will struggle to compete in the tough ACC conference. Johnson was one of the few bright spots on the team, averaging 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
It’s been a tough year for Louisville basketball and things just keeps getting worse.
Monday was a day of mixed news for the Louisville Cardinals First, the good: Graduate transfer center Steven Enoch, who has been sidelined since late October with a foot injury, has been cleared to return to practice. Cardinals Head Coach Chris Mack announced the news via Twitter.
The bad news: Louisville will be without starting point guard Darius Perry for at least the next two weeks. Perry injured his leg in Saturday’s win over Western Kentucky and had to be helped off the court. Mack said Perry will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
The Cardinals are already without freshman guard David Johnson, who has been out since late November with a wrist injury. He, too, is expected to miss at least another two weeks.

According to reports, Louisville basketball has suffered another injury, this time to starting point guard Darius Perry.
Perry is reportedly out with a stress fracture in his foot, and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks of action. This is a significant blow to the Cardinals, who are already without forward Jordan Nwora (suspension) and center Malik Williams (injury).
With Perry out, freshman David Johnson is likely to see increased minutes at point guard Johnson has shown flashes of potential this season, but will now be tasked with running the Louisville offense for an extended period of time.
