“First and foremost, I feel for Mike,” Cardinals coach Chris Mack said. “He’s a phenomenal young man and was poised to have a stellar freshman season. Secondly, I feel for his teammates, coaches, family and friends that have supported him daily. Lastly, I feel for Louisville fans, who will miss seeing a terrific addition to our program.

“I have no doubt, however, that Mike will be back better than ever next season.”

The 6-foot-6 James was a consensus top 100 recruit in the 2021 class. He averaged 19.4 points and 10.8 rebounds as a senior at Oak Ridge High in Orlando, Fla.

Louisville opens the regular season on Nov. 9 at home against Southern.
