Miami officials say forward Tonye Jekiri was cleared to return to Saturday's game against Louisville after one of the Cardinals' team doctors determined he did not have a concussion. Jekiri was shaken up after Louisville's Montrezl Harrell threw a ball in his face in the first half of what became the Cardinals' 55-53 victory. A Miami trainer suspected Jekiri was concussed, and the Hurricanes say Louisville's doctor then checked his condition.
