With freshman point guard Mikel Brown Jr. missing time due to an injury, Louisville head coach activated London Johnson over the weekend, though the 21-year-old former NBA G-Leaguer did not make his Cardinals’ debut in Saturday’s 75-62 win over Boston College. Then, on Tuesday night, the second-year head man reversed course, announcing that Johnson will once again be redshirting the season. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
Johnson signed with the program in November and joined the program in mid-December, with the season already underway. Kelsey revealed on Tuesday night that the 6-foot-3 guard felt “overwhelmed” in the build up to Saturday’s game.
