Former Louisville guard/forward Kyle Kuric, 26, remains in critical condition following a second brain surgery in Barcelona, Spain on Saturday. 

Kuric, who helped the Cardinals reach the Final Four back in 2012, had surgery to remove a brain tumor on Thursday. His family announced through a U of L spokesperson that the surgery "went very well," according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

But after the first surgery Kuric developed cerebral edema (a swelling of the brain caused by excessive fluid), forcing a second surgery to take place. He is currently on a ventilator with sedation, accoding to GoCards.com
