Torn ACL Sidelines Louisville’s Marra for Season

Louisville junior wing Mike Marra  suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Cardinals’ victory over Lamar on Sunday and will miss the remainder of the season.

He would be eligible for a medical redshirt, having played in just two games this season.

Marra went down with 12:17 remaining in the second half of the Cardinals’ 68-48 victory over Lamar. An MRI at Jewish Hospital on Sunday night revealed the damage. Surgery will be scheduled later and the normal recovery time from an ACL reconstruction is 9-12 months.

Marra scored six points in each of Louisville’s first two games. He averaged 6.2 points and two assists as a sophomore last season, starting 11 games.

Louisville had previously lost freshman guard and McDonald’s All-American Wayne Blackshear for the season to a torn labrum that will require surgery.
