Louisville basketball forward leaves the game

Louisville fifth-year basketball forward Kasean Pryor left Friday’s Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis championship game against Oklahoma after suffering an apparent left leg injury less than a minute into the second half.

On the defensive end of the court, Pryor was caught by one of his teammates, senior point guard Chucky Hepburn, who fell to the ground while trying to guard a driving Jeremiah Fears.

While on the ground, Pryor pounded the field in pain and, with the help of some Cardinals staff members, limped back to the team’s locker room at Atlantis Paradise Island Resort with 19:02 left in regulation time.

As the final seven minutes of regulation began, U of L play-by-play announcer Jody Demling said on the radio broadcast that Pryor came out of the locker room in a wheelchair, pushed by his father, and sat at the end of the team bench .
