Louisville basketball secured their 17th win of the season, as they defeated Boston College Wednesday night. Cardinals secured their 10th ACC victory which is their first 10 win season in ACC play since 2019-2020 season.
Chucky Hepburn exited and went to the locker room but was seen on the bench laughing with teammates with about five minutes remaining. Louisville basketball fans anxiously awaited an injury update, and Friday morning they recieved an injury update.
Cardinals fans found out Friday morning that their star guard is "day-to-day" with an apparent groin injury and his status for tomorrow's game against Miami is, "up in the air", according to The Field of 68.

Chucky Hepburn injury update
After the game Louisville basketball head coach, Pat Kelsey, was told he could not put Cardinals star guard back in the game.
"I was told by the medical people that he couldn't return" Pat Kelsey later on in the press conference stated.
It could have been to save him and it wasn't worth to get the star guard back on the court, since the Cardinals were up so much, but the fact the doctors informed Kelsey not to let Hepburn play is alarming.

Chucky Hepburn went 5-10 from the field, and 2-4 from beyond the arc. He finished the game with 12 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and a steal in his 24 minutes of action.
Hepburn is top 15 in the country in total assists, assist per game, and total steals and steals per game, as he averages 2.4 steals per game. Hepburn is a clear frontrunner to win Defensive player of the year in the ACC and will most likely be on the first-team All ACC.
Louisville will take on Miami on ESPN2, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. local time from KFC Yum! Center.
