Junior forward Juan Palacios, who missed Wednesdays game against St. John's with back spasms, is doubtful to play in Louisville's game Sunday afternoon at Connecticut said coach Rick Pitino on Friday.
"He won't practice today," Pitino said. "He is getting better, but as I've said many times, he's a very slow healer."
An absent Palacios could mean the second straight start for walk-on senior Perrin Johnson, who contributed four points in the Cardinals' 72-48 win over the Red Storm.
