He averaged 10.1 points per game last season, and he should hover around that mark once again if he gets enough playing time as it was the case in this one.

Officially active Wednesday Withers (ankle) is starting Wednesday's season opener against Evansville, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Withers was nursing a sprained ankle leading up to Wednesday's contest, but he'll claim a role in the starting five for the first game of the 2020-21 season. Withers took a redshirt season last year, but he drew praise from head coach Chris Mack during the offseason and appears poised to contribute for the Cardinals this year.

Likely to play in opener Withers (ankle) is likely to play in the season opener according to coach Chris Mack, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Withers sprained his ankle in practice last week, but it isn't believed to be serious. The freshman should be able to make a contribution in the opener next week.

Tweaks ankle in practice Withers tweaked his ankle in practice but is expected to be back soon, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Withers is currently not practicing with the team, but the injury is not considered serious. He is expected to be able to contribute when the season begins later this month.

NOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing praise from coach Withers has a chance to start at power forward for Louisville in 2020-21, Brian Bennett of the Athletic reports.

Impact With last year's combination of Jordan Nwora, Steven Enoch and Dwayne Sutton taking up a combined 85 mpg, there wasn't really enough frontcourt minutes available for Withers to take on much of a role, so he ultimately took a redshirt season. The aforementioned trio has since departed from the program, while Withers has spent the offseason working on his body and his game. He apparently put on close to 25 pounds since arriving on campus, and coach Chris Mack has even called him "by far our best athlete on the team." A lot of the Louisville alignment will depend on how transfers Carlik Jones and Charles Mineland slot into the mix -- and whether they push Samuell Williamson to the four-spot -- but it seems as if the door is open for Withers to see a heavy workload alongside Malik Williams in the frontcourt.
