Koren Johnson - Out for the season Johnson (shoulder) has announced via his personal Twitter account, that he will take a medical redshirt and undergo shoulder surgery.

Impact Johnson will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season as he recovers from a shoulder injury suffered in the opening week of the season. The 6-foot-2 junior transfer from Washington, who averaged 11.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals across 31 games with the Huskies last season, will look to return with the Cardinals during the 2025-26 season.

Koren Johnson - Will see another specialist Johnson (shoulder) will see another specialist, according to Rick Bozich of WDRB.

Impact Bozich's announcement confirms Johnson already saw a shoulder specialist. The guard will be out until further notice.

Aboubacar Traore - Expected to be out until January Traore (arm) is expected to be out until January, per Rick Bozich of WDRB.

Impact Currently, Traore is expected to be out for four weeks beginning from Monday. Four weeks from now is Dec. 30, and the Louisville team is not scheduled for another December matchup that date or after. So as a result, the earliest Traore can be available for is Louisville's Jan. 4 game at Virginia, which is not even guaranteed. Still, it is not confirmed that Traore will absolutely sit out four weeks, so maybe a December return is possible, albeit unlikely.

Kasean Pryor - Out for remainder of season Pryor (knee) is out for the remainder of Louisville's 2024-25 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Pryor's left ACL is torn, the kind of injury that shuts down any season any time it occurs. As a result, Louisville's team is left without the man who was considered to be its starting center moving forward. Pryor's 2024-25 output was reminiscent of his South Florida season, which is what the Cardinals pined for when they got him. He will finish it with 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in seven games (three starts). For now, James Scott is next in line to be Louisville's starting center, and more of a dire situation may result in the Cardinals considering bringing Aly Khalifa (redshirt) to the fold.

Kasean Pryor - Exits game Friday Pryor (lower leg) left Friday's 69-64 loss against Oklahoma with a lower leg injury, Brooks Holton of the Louisville Courier Journal reports.

Impact Pryor limped to the locker room with the help of some Louisville' staff members just one minute into the second half. The 6-foot-10 senior transfer from USF was not able to return to the contest, and he was spotted in a wheelchair at the end of the bench in the final minutes of the game. Pryor will have a few days off to rest and recover before the Cardinals pick back up against Mississippi on Tuesday night.

J'Vonne Hadley - Pulls down 13 rebounds Friday Hadley recorded 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Friday's 69-64 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Hadley was one of two Louisville players who recorded double-doubles in this defeat, with Noah Waterman being the other. Hadley, however, led the team in rebounds with 13. The senior forward now has two double-doubles across his last four games this season.

Noah Waterman - Posts double-double Friday Waterman amassed 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 69-64 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Waterman didn't have his best shooting performance, and even though the Cardinals came up short of getting the win, Waterman's double-double turned more than a few heads due to his energy on both ends of the court. Waterman has been trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign and has scored in double digits in two of his last three appearances.

Koren Johnson - Won't play vs. Sooners Johnson (shoulder) won't play against Oklahoma, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Johnson will miss his fifth straight game. The rotational guard averaged 20 minutes in his first two contests, and he figures to remain a staple of the Cardinals' lineup whenever he returns. However, it's unclear when that will be at this point.

Chucky Hepburn - Makes things happen at both ends Hepburn closed Thursday's 79-70 OT win over West Virginia with 32 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 14-17 FT), three rebounds, two assists and six steals in 38 minutes.

Impact Hepburn was a dominant presence on the offensive end of the court due to an impressive performance, where his efficiency undoubtedly stood out -- he missed just four of his 12 shots en route to delivering a season-high scoring mark. Hepburn is also known for his defense, and he has recorded at least four steals in three of his last four games. During that four-game stretch, the senior guard is averaging 18.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.8 steals per contest.

Kasean Pryor - Fills stat sheet Thursday Pryor recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 79-70 OT victory over West Virginia.

Impact Pryor was absolutely dominant in the OT win over West Virginia, ending just two boards away from a double-double but also filling the stat sheet admirably. Chucky Hepburn carried the team on offense with a 32-point effort, but Pryor certainly made his presence on both ends of the court. He's racked up 27 points, 15 rebounds, three blocks and three steals in two starts.

Kasean Pryor - Scores 14 points in start Wednesday Pryor closed Wednesday's 89-61 win over Indiana with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes.

Impact Pryor has struggled with consistency, but the forward has managed to score in double digits in three of his five outings. This was his first start of the campaign, and his fantasy upside should grow if he remains in the starting five going forward.

Chucky Hepburn - Best showing of season Hepburn recorded 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, 10 assists and seven steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 89-61 win over Indiana.

Impact Hepburn led the way in what was a thorough dismantling of a much-hyped Indiana team, logging his third consecutive double-digit scoring effort and a season-best assist total. He's also been superb on the defensive end, which was his trademark at Wisconsin, as Hepburn is averaging 3.8 spg following this seven-steal effort. Louisville next draws West Virginia on Thursday in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
