Louisville basketball will play only one exhibition game during its trip to the Bahamas, scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 28, at Baha Mar Convention, Arts and Entertainment Center in Nassau. The decision comes due to injuries affecting key players, including freshman Obinna Ekezie Jr. and junior Karter Knox, who are not expected to participate. Ekezie is recovering from shoulder surgery while Knox is working back from knee surgery. This leaves the Cardinals with a nine-man rotation for the exhibition. Coach Pat Kelsey expressed optimism about Knox's recovery but indicated Ekezie may need more time to regain full participation.
