Available Saturday Nickelberry (illness) is available and warming up with the team ahead of Saturday's game against Virginia, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nickelberry was sidelined throughout February with a wrist injury and later with a non-COVID illness but is available to play Saturday if needed. The 6-4 sophomore is averaging 2.5 points and 0.6 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game so there's no guarantee he even sees the court despite being dressed.

Could be available Wednesday Nickelberry returned to practice Monday and should be available for Wednesday's matchup against Virginia Tech, Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Nickelberry has been unavailable for the last four games due to a non-COVID-related illness, and while he could return Wednesday, it's possible his minutes will be limited. Coach Chris Mack suggests it's a matter of getting his timing back, so the likely scenario for the sophomore is that he's eased back into action. With Louisville on the NCAA Tournament bubble, however, having all the weapons in its arsenal will be key.

Impact Nickelberry hasn't played since Jan. 27 after he suffered a wrist injury in practice just days after that game.

Impact It's unclear what sort of ailment Nickelberry is dealing with but the fact that he hasn't gotten in a lot of work and the season started in under three weeks doesn't pose well for his chances to see the court once the season gets underway. With the team given the unfortunate news of Malik Williams (foot) injury early Saturday morning, they could use some positive news by getting Nickelberry back into practice sooner rather than later.
