JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Pryor (knee) is questionable for Friday's game versus Stanford.

Impact Pryor sat Tuesday as he continues to deal with a lingering knee issue. Prior to that he had appeared in five straight games. Should he be active, Pryor would assume a depth role in the Cardinals' frontcourt.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lingering knee issue Pryor (knee) continues to work through a lingering knee issue after sustaining a torn ACL last season, Matthew McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact Pryor, who will miss his fourth game of the season tonight against Cal, is reportedly dealing with the lingering effect of last year's season-ending knee injury. The 6-foot-10 senior, who burst onto to scene with USF during the 2023-24 season averaging 13 points and 7.9 rebounds across 32 games, has been limited since joining the Cardinals. Pryor's next chance to return will come against Stanford on Friday, but his expected status is unknown.

Inactive Tuesday Pryor (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against California.

Impact Pryor will miss his fourth game of the season as the Cardinals face off against the Bears on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-10 senior, who is averaging 3.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 8.1 minutes per game (nine games), will have his next chance to return Friday against Stanford, but his expected status is unknown.

Limited to five minutes Pryor (concussion) produced four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal over five minutes during Wednesday's 89-80 loss to Arkansas.

Impact The good thing is that Pryor was able to step on the court and log minutes, meaning he's no longer affected by the concussion he was dealing with. His impact was limited, but he should begin to see more minutes in the near future.

Warming up Wednesday Pryor (concussion) is warming up for Louisville as the Cardinals get set to face Arkansas, per William McDermott of On3.com.

Impact Pryor has missed the past two games for Louisville as he battles a concussion, but the forward appears slated to give it a go against the Razorbacks. He's come off the bench this season, and is averaging 2.3 points and 2.5 rebounds.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

HC hoping for availability Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey recently announced that he hopes Pryor (concussion) clears protocol before the UofL-Arkansas game scheduled for Wednesday, according to Matt McGa...

Impact Kelsey indicates that Pryor's latest concussion continues to affect him. Even though Pryor is not a regular part of Louisville's rotation, he is the Cardinals' only player without a clean bill of health. Pryor has served decently in limited minutes, with his 8.0 per game including 2.3 points and 2.5 rebounds averaged.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In concussion protocol Pryor is in concussion protocol and won't play in Monday's game against Eastern Michigan, Brooks Holton of the Courier Journal reports.

Impact Pryor has been an end-of-rotation piece for Louisville, having played eight and two points in the team's two games decided by fewer than 25 points. He'll be idle for Monday night's contest, and his next chance to play will come on Wednesday against NJIT.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Low usage to begin season Pryor recorded three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over six minutes during Saturday's 106-81 victory over Ohio.

Impact There was always going to be an odd man out of Louisville's rotation given its loaded transfer and recruiting class, and so far, that may be Pryor. Despite averaging a solid 12.0 points and 6.1 rebounds before going down with a knee injury in 2024-25, Pryor has taken a back seat to the likes of Sananda Fru, J'Vonne Hadley and Khani Rooths so far to begin the 2025-26 campaign. It's possible coach Pat Kelsey is simply being conservative with his minutes as he eases the senior back into action, but fantasy managers may not have time to wait for a more involved role to develop.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play vs. Jackson State Pryor (knee) is expected to play Thursday night against Jackson State, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Pryor missed the Cardinals' opener but is expected to go Thursday night, limiting his absence to just one game. With J'Vonne Hadley out, he should slide into his spot in the starting five. Pryor only played in seven games last season, but was impactful in those contests, averaging 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He should be a big factor for the Cardinals in 2025-2026.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. South Carolina State Pryor (knee) is out for Monday's game against South Carolina State, according to Jeff Goodman of On3.com.

Impact Pryor's left ACL is still on the mend months after its tear and after his clearance from the injury earlier this summer. He is a significant loss for Louisville's season opener, considering his well-established prowess down low for the team. Pryor averaged 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in seven games last season.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to sit out exhibition Pryor (knee) isn't expected to play in Friday's exhibition game against Kansas, Mike Rutherford of CardChronicle.com reports.

Impact Pryor tore his ACL in November of 2024, and while he's already been declared available for the regular-season opener Nov. 3, Louisville won't rush him into playing in Friday's exhibition. Look for Vangelis Zougris and Khani Rooths to pick up more minutes Friday night.

Impact Pryor tore his ACL last November but will healthy in time for the start of the season. He will start at power forward during the upcoming campaign after having averaged 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 steals, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks across seven games last season.

Rehabbing on schedule Pryor (knee) is is on pace or better with his rehab process, Jody Demling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Pryor tore his left ACL back in late-November of the 2024-25 campaign, and he's been unable to practice for most of the summer. It appears now that his recovery process is heading in a positive direction as he prepares for his second year with Louisville and fifth collegiate season. Louisville head coach Pat Kelsey also noted the 6-foot-10 big man is, "exactly where he needs to be," and that full contact should come around the nine-month mark. This would bring Pryor back to the court at a complete capacity sometime in August.

Yet to practice Pryor (knee) has yet to practice, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact Back in late-November, Pryor tore his left ACL. Fast-forward more than eight months later, and he has not shown definitively promising improvement. Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey is hoping that preseason includes Pryor practicing, though that remains an uncertainty.

Returning to Louisville Pryor has announced his decision to return to Louisville for the 2025-26 season, per his personal X.com account.

Impact Pryor, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL in late November, will return to Louisville for another season. The 6-foot-10 senior, who appeared in just seven games last season, averaged 13 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks across 32 games (31 starts) with USF during the 2024-25 season. Pryor, who was out to a fast start with the Cardinals before his injury, will look to be a centerpiece for Louisville this fall.

Louisville's Reyne Smith leaves game with lower leg injury in game against Cal

Reyne Smith left No. 14 Louisville’s game against California on Wednesday night with an apparent lower leg injury

MARCH 6, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

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.
