LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Rick Pitino says junior point guard Quentin Snider will play Saturday against Miami after a six-game absence because of a hip injury.
Snider, the No. 4 Cardinals’ assists leader and second-leading scorer, was expected to miss two to three weeks after being injured in a Jan. 14 win over Duke. Snider’s recovery instead lasted longer, and he just returned to practice this week.
Pitino couldn’t say Friday if his guard would start against the Hurricanes (16-7, 6-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) but noted, “We made sure he was in really good shape before he practiced.”
Louisville (19-5, 7-4) will also have senior center Mangok Mathiang and sophomore forward Deng Adel back after each served one-game suspensions for missing curfew. Both players apologized to fans for their behavior.
