Seems inevitable, an injury or two this time of summer for the University of Louisville basketball program. Chris Jones is the latest, posting a photo of himself with one of his legs in a cast Thursday. A stress fracture in his left shin that he said will keep him out of action for at least six weeks.
Jones, a 5-foot-10 senior and starting guard, has reportedly lost about 20 pounds this summer. He and Terry Rozier had just returned from the Adidas Nations Camp in Chicago where they served as counselors at one of the top recruiting sites for high school recruits. Akoy Agau, a sophomore forward, underwent surgery for a sports hernia injury last week.

The football players will be signing autographs, as will members of other UofL teams, and there will be posters, photo booths and games for the youngsters.
