Karter Knox - Will not play Tuesday Knox (knee) went through warmups but will not play for Louisville on Tuesday against Bahamas Raw Talent, Jody Demling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact This appears to be another step in Knox's recovery from the knee issue that sidelined him previously, but he remains unavailable for game action. Still, seeing him get involved in warmups is a positive sign considering he still has plenty of time to get ready for in-game action.

Jackson Shelstad - Will start Tuesday's exhibition Shelstad (hand) is in Louisville's starting lineup Tuesday against Bahamas Raw Talent, according to Matt McGavic of SI.com.

Impact This confirms the guard is opening with the first unit for Louisville. It also means Shelstad should be considered healthy moving forward, an encouraging sign with the 2026-27 college season still months away from its beginning.

Karter Knox - May be cleared soon Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey says the team is hoping that Knox (knee) can be cleared within the next two weeks, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact During early-2026, Knox underwent meniscus surgery, which indicates why his 2025-26 season abruptly ended. Nonetheless, Louisville recruited his services, and it looks like they will become available relatively soon. Kelsey's statement indicates that by July, Knox will be 100 percent, putting down previous concerns when he committed to the Cardinals back in April.

Adrian Wooley - Expected to make big leap Wooley is expected to make a big leap during Louisville's 2026-27 season, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact As part of Louisville, the 2026-27 NCAA season will be Wooley's second. He was a regular part of the 2025-26 Cardinals' rotation, with each of their 35 games including his 10-plus minutes. Wooley played behind Mikel Brown, but because of injuries, the former logged 16 starts and averaged 10.9 points. Brown has entered the NBA draft, and even with Jackson Shelstad joining Louisville's backcourt, Wooley regularly starting is to be expected. With that in mind, so is a statistical leap, especially now that he has a season of experience under his belt.
