Kevin Ware Suffers Horrific Injury

The routine play Louisville’s Kevin Ware was executing is what coaches call a “close-out.” He was dashing out toward the perimeter and leaping to challenge a 3-point shot attempt from Duke’s Tyler Thornton with 6:33 remaining in the first half. The injury that occurred was like few had seen before on a basketball court.

Ware landed, and his leg buckled, and soon he was flat on his back with his right leg extended in the air. It was apparent a portion of his bone was forcing against the inside of his skin.

The players who saw it, who were standing nearby, were overcome by the sight—and that was true not only of Ware’s Louisville teammates but also Thornton, who walked toward the bench hiding his eyes in his jersey.

Cardinals junior guard Russ Smith was in tears, and sophomore forward Chane Behanan was prone near the foul line with grief.

From ADS we ask everyone to keep Kevin in their prayers and hope he makes a quick steady recovery.
