Close to double-double Traore finished Saturday's 70-50 win over Virginia with 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 16 minutes.

Impact Traore had a solid showing on both ends of the court despite coming off the bench and finished just two boards away from recording a double-double. Even though the bench role limits his fantasy upside, the fact that he played more than 15 minutes for the first time since early November suggests he might be ready to recover his starting role, something he had before suffering an injury in the early stages of the season, sooner rather than later.

Active against Eastern Kentucky Traore (arm) will be available for Saturday's game against Eastern Kentucky, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Traore broke his arm in early November but is ready to return to the hardwood. His activation should give a much-needed boost to Louisville, as its already lost Kasean Pryor (knee) and Koren Johnson (shoulder) for the season. Considering the lengthy layoff, Traore will likely have his minutes monitored.

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.

Will miss multiple weeks Traore will miss multiple weeks due to a broken arm, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact The return date of Traore is uncertain, but the forward will be missing several weeks due to a severe injury. This means Noah Waterman and Kasean Pryor will be in line for more minutes in the frontcourt.

Spotted with arm in a sling Traore was spotted with his arm in a sling during Louisville's warm-ups, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact Traore was sitting courtside when he was spotted with the sling during the Cardinal's warm-ups. It's safe to assume the forward is out after he started both of Louisville's first two games. In his absence, however long that may be, Noah Waterman should see an uptick in minutes.

Leads scoring in exhibition Traore (back) had 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 32 minutes in Friday's 73-71 exhibition victory over Biola.

Impact Traore enjoyed a breakout freshman season with the Beach in which he needed just 23.5 mpg to post averages of 8.3 points and 8.1 rebounds. A back injury left him unavailable for the NIT, but his presence in Friday's low-stakes exhibition contest suggests he should be ready to go for the start of the regular season. Long Beach State opens up Nov. 7 at California Baptist.
