Louisville head coach Chris Mack said during his Friday press conference that he expects sophomore guard David Johnson to be available for the team’s Saturday night road game against red-hot Duke.
Johnson missed U of L’s 69-57 win over Notre Dame on Tuesday because of a non-Covid-related illness.
“He is back,” Mack said of Johnson’s status. “He practiced yesterday and he’s feeling much better. We expect him to be ready to go tomorrow night.”
Getting Johnson back would be huge under any circumstances, but it’s especially noteworthy given Louisville’s next opponent.
Johnson has been spectacular in each of his previous appearances against Duke.
