Louisville starting forward Aboubacar Traore suffered a broken left arm, the team announced before Tuesday’s game against Bellarmine, and he is expected to miss multiple weeks.
The 6-foot-5 native of the Ivory Coast transferred to Louisville in the spring from Long Beach State, where he reached the 1,000-point plateau over three seasons. He averaged 12.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for the Beach last season, earning All-Big West and Big West Tournament MVP honors as the school reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012.
Traore averaged 1.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in two starts for Louisville (1-1) this season.
The Cardinals also will be without Koren Johnson (shoulder) for the game against Bellarmine. The Washington transfer averaged 3.0 points and 2.5 assists in his first two games for Louisville.
