Deng Adel, Louisville’s leading scorer at 15.5 ppg, will miss the Cardinals’ Thursday night game against Georgia Tech because of an ankle injury. Freshman guard Darius Perry will start in Adel’s place.
The good news for Louisville is that Ray Spalding, who has also been dealing with an ankle injury, is good to go.
