Koren Johnson - Out with shoulder ailment Johnson (shoulder) won't play against Bellarmine, Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com reports.
Impact Johnson has been a big factor in the Cardinals' rotation off the bench, playing 19 and then 21 minutes in Louisville's first two games. He averaged 3.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists across those two contests. His next chance to suit up will come against Winthrop on Nov. 22, although there's reportedly no timetable for his return.

Noah Waterman - Promoted to starting role Waterman is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Bellarmine.
Impact Waterman will move to the Cardinals' starting lineup due to the absence of Aboubacar Traore (arm). Waterman is averaging 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in his previous two outings.

Aboubacar Traore - Will miss multiple weeks Traore will miss multiple weeks due to a broken arm, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Aboubacar Traore - Spotted with arm in a sling Traore was spotted with his arm in a sling during Louisville's warm-ups, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.
Impact Traore was sitting courtside when he was spotted with the sling during the Cardinal's warm-ups. It's safe to assume the forward is out after he started both of Louisville's first two games. In his absence, however long that may be, Noah Waterman should see an uptick in minutes.

Reyne Smith - Leads Cardinals off bench Smith provided 18 points (5-13 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Saturday's 77-55 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Smith was one of two Louisville players who scored in double digits coming off the bench Saturday -- the other one was Noah Waterman. Despite his solid outing in this loss, Smith should continue to play off the bench in most games for the foreseeable future.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Chucky Hepburn - Struggles from field Saturday Hepburn totaled eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and six steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 77-55 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Hepburn didn't have a good performance against the Vols, but to be fair, the entire Louisville team struggled. Hepburn led all the starters with this eight-point effort, and only two bench players reached the 10-point threshold.

Impact The Cardinals dominated the game from start to finish, and Pryor was one of several players who posted strong stat lines. Despite coming off the bench, Pryor led Louisville in both scoring and rebounding, and it wouldn't be surprising if he sees more time in the coming games.
