Kevin Ware's injury

"Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome compound fracture in the first half of the Cardinals' Midwest regional final against Duke on Sunday.

Ware rushed out to challenge a 3-point shot by Duke's Tyler Thornton and appeared to land awkwardly. When laying on the court, the tibia bone in his right leg appeared to be protruding from the skin. The game was stopped for a prolonged period of time and a pall fell over Lucas Oil Stadium.

Louisville's players reacted with anguish. Chane Behanan fell to the floor sobbing. Russ Smith was crying heavily. Coach Rick Pitino was wiping tears from his face."

Pretty Gruesome. Not safe for work.

Ya I saw it yesterday and was hesitant to post it up because it looked bad. I hope that doesn't hurt his basketball career and I hope he gets better. Poor guy,

I saw the replay yesterday too. It looked sooo bad.

Ouch :S

Was watching this game with my friends and two of my friends almost puked. So heart breaking to see that happen to anyone, regardless if they are playing sports or not. It was cool to see Duke's players and even Coach K tear up after seeing what happened.

Yeah, it was cool to watch Louisville rally and crush Duke afterward too.

At least he's got a long time for it to heal, and might have a chance of playing next year again.

It sucks for Ware but from the articles I've read, he will be back next season. while the injury and pictures are shocking (are my nerves jumped in my leg) i was more fascinated at what the tibia looks like besides looking at x-rays & medical books. Maybe its the fact that I've worked in the ER and have seen worse on 4Chan and war images, but i didn't get the sickening feeling. maybe it was one of those "you had to be there" type of feelings.

This is the kind of injury you expect in football, hockey, and extreme sports.

true, to see it basketball was a shocker

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

The fact that he helped calm his teammates down while his bone was sticking out of his leg was inspiring.

I bet you put some Stubbs Marinade on that, slow cook it for a few hours and it'd be delicious.

Dibs on the thigh!
