Louisville basketball postpones Kentucky game due to positive COVID-19 tests

Louisville men’s basketball has postponed its game Wednesday at Kentucky and has paused basketball activities due to “multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the program,” it announced Monday morning.

According to Louisville’s release, U of L and UK officials will “monitor opportunities in which the teams can reschedule the annual rivalry game.” No other makeup information was immediately available.

Louisville is coming off an 82-72 loss at Western Kentucky in which it played without starting center Malik Williams, who was absent from the team. Though U of L did not name Williams, a spokesman said a player was not with the team due to COVID-19 protocols.
