A Short‑Lived College Chapter
Louisville’s men’s basketball program announced on Tuesday that guard London Johnson has been dismissed from the team after a violation of university policy.
Johnson, who signed with the Cardinals in December 2025 after three seasons in the NBA G League, had redshirted the 2025‑26 campaign and was expected to provide depth at the guard position.
His only on‑court appearance for the Cardinals came in an exhibition game in the Bahamas, where he recorded 13 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes before the incident that led to his removal.
The university did not disclose the specifics of the policy breach, but released a statement indicating that the decision was made in accordance with its code of conduct and aimed at preserving the integrity of the program.
The dismissal leaves the Cardinals without a scholarship guard for the remainder of the season and raises questions about the team’s depth as they head into conference play.
