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.
