Potential ramp up in practice Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey says that the team is hoping to ramp up Brown (back) in practice this week, Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Louisville's team has only one game this week, giving the Cardinals and Brown plenty of time to work out his lower-back problem before their next matchup Saturday against Virginia Tech. Even though the Cards recently dominated at Pittburgh, they have struggled overall without their superstar freshman, leading them by averaging 16.6 points, 5.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers made this season.

Ruled out for Saturday Brown (back) is listed as out for Saturday's game against Pitt.
Impact Brown is headed for an eighth straight absence due to a back injury. The standout freshman's prolonged absence has allowed Adrian Wooley to claim a spot in the starting lineup. A timeline for Brown's return has yet to be established. His next chance to play will come Jan. 24 against VT.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Tuesday Brown (back) will sit out during Tuesday's game against Virginia.
Impact Brown will remain sidelined for a seventh-straight game as the Cardinals host the Cavaliers on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-5 freshman, who averaged 16.6 points, three rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.8 steals across Louisville's first 10 games, will have his next opportunity to return against Pittsburgh this Saturday.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Progressing towards return Brown (back) is "working really hard, making progress and we fully expect him to be back out there this season at some point," according to head coach Pat Kelsey, per Books Holton...
Impact Brown has missed the past six games for Louisville. The star freshman guard's absence has been felt, as the Cardinals are 3-3 without him in the lineup. Brown had been highly productive, living up to the NBA Draft hype he garnered during the offseason, averaging 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists before his absence. It seems unlikely he'll return for Louisville's next game, a Tuesday clash with Virginia, but he's still aiming to return this season according to his head coach.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Out once again Brown (back) is out for Saturday's game against Boston College.
Impact Brown has been one of the best players for Louisville this season with averages of 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. However, this will be his sixth absence due to a nagging back problem that has affected him since mid-December. Brown will aim to return against Virginia on Jan. 13.

Out vs. Duke Brown (back) is out for Tuesday's game against Duke, according to Jeff Borzello of ESPN.
Impact Since mid-December, Brown has been hampered by a lower-back injury, and his continued setbacks have pushed his availability back further. Louisville's team has gone 2-2 without him and must face a high-end Duke team while trying to bounce back from a disappointing loss at Stanford. In his place among Louisville's starting five, Adrian Wooley has alternated between good and bad scoring performances, so whether or not he continues to start is up in the air.
JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Friday Brown (back) won't play Friday at Stanford.
Impact Brown will miss his fourth straight game. The star guard has been a problem for opponents, averaging 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists, but the soonest he can return is Jan. 6 against Duke.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Likely out Friday Brown (back) is likely out Friday against Stanford, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.
Impact Brown has missed the last three games and looks poised to make it four straight absences. The freshman guard is averaging 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists in a stellar start to his career. However, the Cardinals will have to make do without him for at least one more game.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Officially questionable Brown (lower-back) is questionable for Friday's game versus Stanford.
Impact Brown has missed three straight games due to a lower back injury, though he most recently was listed as a game-time call for their win over California on Tuesday. It's unknown in what capacity Brown would play if he's able to return, as his final availability could come down to pregame warmups.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Tuesday Brown (back) will not appear in Tuesday's game against California, William McDermott of On3.com reports.
Impact Brown will miss his third-straight game with a knee injury as the Cardinals face off against the Bears. The 6-foot-5 freshman started in each of Louisville's first 10 games, averaging 16.6 points, three rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.8 steals on 27 minutes per game. Brown's next opportunity to return will come against Stanford on Friday and given that he was a game-time call tonight, a return seems likely against the Cardinal.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed a game-time call Brown (back) is officially listed as a game-time call for Louisville's clash with California on Tuesday.
Impact Brown has missed the past two games for Louisville, and it appears his availability will come right down to tip-off. The star point guard averages 16.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists - getting him back would be huge for the Cardinals. If he's forced to sit out, his next chance to play will come on Jan. 2 at Stanford.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Probable Tuesday Brown (back) has been listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against California.
Impact Brown, who has missed Louisville's last two games with a back injury, practiced in full Sunday and is expected to play against the Bears. The 6-foot-5 freshman has averaged 16.6 points, three rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.8 steals across 10 starts to kick off an impressive freshman campaign.

Sawyer leads Montana against No. 11 Louisville after 23-point game

Montana visits the No. 11 Louisville Cardinals after Te'Jon Sawyer scored 23 points in the Grizzlies' 82-75 loss to the Montana Tech Orediggers
DECEMBER 20, 2025 • Associated Press
Out vs. Montana Brown (back) is out for Saturday's game against Montana, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.
Impact A lower-back injury prevented Brown from participating in Louisville's latest game Tuesday at Tennessee, and the problem will cause another DNP on Saturday. Without him against the Volunteers, Louisville started Adrian Wooley, and Ryan Conwell was UofL's main man in an uncompetitive loss. Louisville's team will finish its non-conference schedule Saturday, meaning Brown has no tune-up games before the Cardinals play at relative ACC newcomer California on Dec. 30.
DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Expected out Saturday Brown (back) is not expected to play in Saturday's game against Montana, Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com reports.
Impact Browns is trending towards sitting out this contest as he continues recovering from a back injury, making it back-to-back missed games. The freshman guard will hope to be back for the team's clash with California on Dec. 30. He has appeared in 10 matches, averaging 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists on 27 minutes.

Won't play Tuesday Brown (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Tennessee, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.
Impact Brown will miss his first game of the season due to a back injury. The freshman guard participated in pregame warmups before being downgraded to out, which indicates the injury isn't a serious concern. Adrian Wooley will start in Brown's place, while Kobe Rodgers could see an uptick in minutes off the bench. Brown's next chance to play will come Saturday against Montana.
