Louisville guard Josh Nickelberry transferring from basketball program Injuries and illness limited Josh Nickelberry to just 24 games in two seasons with Louisville's basketball program.

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.

Remains out Saturday Nickelberry (illness/wrist) won't play Saturday against Duke, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nickelberry is dealing with a non-COVID-19 related illness while recovering from a wrist injury that has kept him sidelined since Jan. 27. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Wednesday against Virginia Tech.

Impact Nickelberry has been working his way back from a wrist injury and has not played since Jan. 27. While it appears he is on the right track with his wrist issue, a non-COVID-19 related illness has popped up and he will likely be unavailable again Tuesday.

Won't play Saturday Nickelberry (wrist) is unavailable for Saturday's game against UNC, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nickelberry hasn't played since Jan. 27 after he suffered a wrist injury in practice just days after that game. He reportedly returned to practice last week but apparently is quite ready to return to action. With him still out, look for Carlik Jones and David Johnson to play heavy minutes in the backcourt for the Cardinals.

Returning to practice this week Nickelberry (wrist) will return to practice this week, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is a good sign that Nickelberry will be able to return to the lineup sometime this week. The Cardinals face Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Virginia Tech on Saturday and the guard should be considered a game-time call for at least Wednesday's matchup.

Will be available Tuesday Nickelberry (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nickelberry will make his season debut on Tuesday as he is now healthy enough to suit up after offseason knee surgery. The sophomore played a limited role last season, so it's unclear how much playing time he will receive this season.

Remains out Saturday Nickelberry (undisclosed) is unavailable for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Jeff Greer of The Field of 68 reports.

Impact Nickelberry is still rehabbing from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery but head coach Chris Mack said Thursday that he could be back in about a week or so. It's unclear how much Nickelberry has been doing in practice recently but based on Mack's word, the sophomore guard could return in time for a Dec. 26 matchup against Kentucky.

DECEMBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Wednesday Nickelberry (undisclosed) won't start Wednesday's season opener against Evansville, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nickelberry had been sidelined in practice recently after undergoing arthroscopic surgery that was expected to keep him sidelined to begin the 2020-21 season. He'll officially be inactive for the first game of the season, and a timetable for his return hasn't yet been established.

Still recovering from knee surgery Nickelberry (knee) is still recovering from arthroscopic surgery, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Chris Mack said he didn't know when Nickelberry will be back to 100 percent or even enough to join the team in practice. At this point it seems doubtful that Nickelberry will avoid missing at least a couple games.

Has not been practicing Nickelberry has missed extended time with an undisclosed injury since Louisville began practicing last month although he's currently considered day-to-day, Shannon Russell of The A...

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.
