LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
13-5 · 4TH IN ACC
Next Game at Virginia Tech · Wed 7:00PM
Louisville F/C Williams out 4-6 weeks after re-injuring foot Louisville forward/center Malik Williams will miss four to six weeks after re-injuring his right foot in just his third game after returning from nearly a year away
Out 4-6 weeks after injuring foot again Williams will miss 4-6 weeks after re-injuring his foot in last Saturday's game against Duke.
Impact Williams was just starting to get back in the swing of things after missing the first three months with this foot injury. This was just his third game back and now it appears like Williams will miss the rest of the season, unless Louisville is able to make it all the way to the Final Four. They will have to go forward with another hole in the frontcourt again.

Propels Cardinals in OT Jones had 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 44 minutes in Saturday's 80-73 OT victory over Duke.
Impact Even with second-leading scorer David Johnson (12.5 ppg) back in the lineup, Jones still led Louisville in points, field-goal attempts and minutes played. He was particularly effective in overtime, where the senior scored seven of his 25 points -- it's no coincidence the Cardinals outscored Duke 15-8 in the OT period. Jones and the Cardinals moved a step closer to the NCAA Tournament with this win, while also providing a big hit to Duke's hopes.

Returns with nine points Johnson had nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 31 minutes in Saturday's 80-73 OT victory over Duke.
Impact Johnson was held out last Tuesday against Notre Dame due to an unspecified, non -COVID-related illness, but was back in action for the all-important ACC matchup. He did take a backseat to leading scorer Carlik Jones (25 points), but nonetheless was one of three Louisville players to put up double-digit attempts from the field. Johnson and the Cardinals close out ACC regular season play with a pair of tough matchups against Virginia Tech and Virginia.

Exits with foot issue Williams suffered a foot injury Saturday against Duke and will not return, Jeff Greer of the Floyd Street Tribune reports.
Impact Williams underwent foot surgery in November and didn't make his season debut until February 20. In just his third game, his foot flared up again, which seems like a rather worrisome sign. Whether or not he's at risk of missing Wednesday's game against Virginia Tech is not yet clear.

Impact Johnson's return would be a major boon for the Cardinals in what is a game to circle on the calendar despite Duke's struggles this season. The Blue Devils are, however, coming off of four straight wins, so Johnson's availability in the backcourt becomes ever more important. The sophomore enters Saturday averaging 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals over 34.8 minutes per game.

10 boards in first start Williams had six points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 69-57 victory over Notre Dame.
Impact Williams returned from a foot injury to make his season debut Saturday against the Tar Heels, but the senior ramped up his production across the board Tuesday. It appears he'll be back in his starting role, which will likely result in immediate fantasy consideration for players in need of rebounding help down the stretch.

Scores team-high 18 points Jones had 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 40 minutes in Tuesday's win over Notre Dame.
Impact Jones has scored in double digits in every single game this season and continues to make an impact as the Cardinals' go-to player on offense. He is scoring 17.5 points despite shooting just 40.5 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from three-point range. He clearly needs to improve his shooting figures to make a more consistent impact on offense.
