MANILA, Philippines — Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome leg injury late in the first half of their win over Duke Sunday (Monday morning in Manila), March 31.

With the Cardinals up by four with 6:40 left in the opening half, Ware went out to challenge Blue Devil Tyler Thornton’s three-point attempt and landed awkwardly, grimacing in pain as part of his bone looked like sticking out of his skin.


Even Thornton was shocked with the turnout of events, as Ware’s teammates and coaches were left shocked by the grisly injury to their sophomore guard. 

Louisville coach Rick Pitino later confirmed with SB Nation that Ware’s leg is broken in two parts, with the bone sticking 6 inches out of the skin. The coach added that Ware will be out for at least a year. 

The Cardinals rallied around their teammate and dismantled Duke, 85-63, to advance to the Final Four against Wichita State next week. – Rappler.com
