Louisville, Ky. ? Louisville sophomore center David Padgett injured his left knee in an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday and could be out for up to six weeks.

Cardinals coach Rick Pitino said Padgett would undergo an MRI today, adding a sprained knee likely would keep him out for six weeks.

The 6-foot-11 center, who transferred from Kansas University, had 15 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists when he was injured late in the second half of the seventh-ranked Cardinals’ scrimmage.

The Red-White game was Padgett’s first public appearance on the court after recovering from a broken foot.

“David was playing terrific, but unfortunately because he’s gangly he’s had a lot of injuries in high school and he’s had a lot of injuries in college,” Pitino said.

The Cardinals play Tennessee-Martin in their first regular-season game Nov. 19.
