Three Virginia Cavaliers basketball players are fighting various ailments and maladies ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the Louisville Cardinals in Charlottesville.

As we previously detailed, swingman DeAndre Hunter sprained his ankle in the process of scoring the go-ahead layup for the Cavaliers in Saturday’s win over Duke. Hunter was held out of practice on Monday and is day-to-day, according to head coach Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett said that De'Andre Hunter received treatments on his right ankle over the weekend. "I think we'll hold him from practice today and be day-to-day with it." #UVa hosts Louisville on Wednesday. — Jerry Ratcliffe (@JerryRatcliffe) January 29, 2018

Elsewhere within the team, guard Devon Hall and forward Mamadi Diakite are suffering from flu-like symptoms and also didn’t practice on Monday, as first reported by WUVA on Monday night.

@WUVAnews learned this evening that both Devon Hall & Mamadi Diakite missed practice this afternoon with flu-like symptoms. Unclear at this time if they'll be available for Wed's game against Louisville. De'Andre Hunter missed with ankle injury#UVA #UVABasketball — William Donnell (@wcdonnell2) January 30, 2018

Sam Blum of the Daily Progress confirmed that reporting with regards to Hall late Tuesday morning.

If all three of them cannot go tomorrow against the Cardinals (16-5, 6-2 ACC), the second-ranked Hoos (20-1, 9-0 ACC) would have just eight scholarship players available to them: Marco Anthony, Justice Bartley, Kyle Guy, Jay Huff, Ty Jerome, Nigel Johnson, Jack Salt, and Isaiah Wilkins. Of those, only five are regular rotation players. Huff and Bartley - awarded a scholarship after the Virginia Tech game - have played five minutes each during ACC play and Anthony has played seven.

Louisville is currently tied with Duke for second place in the ACC, 2.5 games behind UVA. If the Hoos win, their magic number to clinch the league outright for the third time in five years would shrink to just six.
