Deng Adel is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and returning to Louisville for his junior season, a source told CBS Sports on Tuesday.
A formal announcement is expected soon.
Adel averaged 12.1 points and 4.5 rebounds last season for a Louisville team that earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. His return means the Cardinals, coached by Hall of Famer Rick Pitino, will have two of their top three scorers back from a 25-9 team.
Louisville is ranked seventh in the CBS Sports preseason Top 25 (and one).
