Louisville Says Guard Skylar Jones Is No Longer With Team on Eve of NCAA Tournament

Coach Jeff Walz called the split mutual, citing the team’s depth.

Overview

  • Walz announced Friday that junior guard Skylar Jones is no longer with Louisville and will not play in the NCAA Tournament.
  • He said the sides have parted ways and offered no details, and Jones’ bio was removed from the athletics website.
  • Jones, a Chicago native who transferred from Arizona, averaged 8.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals while appearing in every game this season.
  • Her minutes had tailed off late, including single-digit stints in the regular-season finale and ACC Tournament games.
  • Walz said the rotation should remain steady given a deep bench led by ACC Sixth Player of the Year Imari Berry, as the No. 3 seed Cardinals open against No. 14 Vermont on Saturday at noon ET at the KFC Yum! Center.
