Louisville basketball learned some concerning news on Wednesday as their star international forward, Vangelis Zougris, appeared to have twisted his ankle in a friendly game against Belgium and was unable to walk on his own power to his MRI.

The Cardinals received the Greek's commitment back in late May, and he is quickly becoming one of the fans' favorite additions as he has shown high energy at practices in small moments and clips on social media. He is now representing his home country overseas, and in a friendly matchup against Belgium, it appears he rolled his ankle as he tripped over another player's foot as he was getting ready to run down the floor.
