Mike James - Participant in exhibition James (undisclosed) is a participant in an exhibition game Sunday versus Lenoir-Rhyne, according to Louisville's official Twitter account.

Kamari Lands - Strong showing in scrimmage Lands had 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and two steals across 32 minutes in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage.
Impact Lands came out with the green light to shoot and ending up tying El Ellis as the leading scorer on the winning side of the scrimmage. He was also the only player on both sides to make multiple three-point baskets. Lands is a four-star recruit and sits at the top of Louisville's 2022 class, which alone makes him a candidate to log heavy playing time in a backcourt that endured several big offseason losses. At 6-foot-8, he creates a matchup problem for opposing guards on the perimeter.

Mike James - DNP in scrimmage James did not participate in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage due to precautionary health reasons, Rick Bozich of WDRB.com reports.
Impact While James was cleared from an Achilles injury in late-September, he still sat out the scrimmage due to what was described as precautionary health reasons, similar to teammate Jae'Lyn Withers. Fortunately, the two are expected to be cleared for full-intensity practices this week, and both are expected to participate in an Oct. 30 exhibition contest against Lenior-Rhyne. James sat out the entirety of what would have been his freshman season due to injury, but he was a four-star recruit that ranked the highest in Louisville's class. He's a prime candidate to carve out a role following several key backcourt departures.

Jae'Lyn Withers - Sits out team scrimmage Withers did not take part in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage due to precautionary health reasons, Rick Bozich of WDRB.com reports.
Impact No specific reason was given for the absence of Withers, though he did miss the final three games of last season due to both knee and ankle issues. On the bright side, he's expected to be cleared for a full practice Tuesday, as well as participate in an Oct. 30 exhibition contest against Lenoir-Rhyne. Withers' production dropped off last season after he was no longer a regular starter, but he's still a double-double threat capable of reclaiming a starting role in 2022-23.
OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
El Ellis - Seven assists in scrimmage Ellis had 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage.
Impact Ellis had the highest plus/minus rating of anyone in the game while serving as the leading distributor on the winning side of the contest. With Mason Faulkner, Noah Locke and Jarrod West all departing after last season, Ellis stands to increase his production in what's likely to be a starting role, and he should be a key ball-handler in 2022-23.
OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sydney Curry - Double-double in scrimmage Curry had a game-high 18 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds across 30 minutes in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage.
Impact There's a case to be made that Curry was simply the best option on the losing side of the scrimmage, but it's still noteworthy production for the senior. Should he lock down a starting role as expected, he'll be poised to ramp up production from the 7.1 points and 4.4 rebounds he averaged over just 13.6 minutes per contest in 2021-22.
