Dennis Evans, a freshman center for Louisville men's basketball, will no longer be medically cleared to compete, according to a statement from the team. The announcement, which cites an undisclosed medical issue, did not reveal specifics but expressed disappointment and a commitment to respecting Evans' privacy. Evans, a former 4-star recruit, had been sidelined since November 29 due to a shoulder injury and played in seven games this season, averaging 1.6 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks per game. His career at Louisville is likely over, marking a significant loss for the team as both five-star recruits signed in 2023 did not make it to 2024.
Seems like Dennis Evans career at Louisville is over. Both five stars that signed with Louisville in 2023 didn’t make it to 2024. Just a bummer overall.
