For those of you who haven't heard, this past Sunday Louisville's guard Kevin Ware suffered a horrific injury. Kevin was running to defend a play when it happened. As Ware leaped in the air to pressure the Duke shooter he landed awkwardly on his right leg. Ware's landing caused his bone to break through the skin.
As text messages and tweets began to circulate, It was horrible to hear what had just happened to the 20 year old college ball player. At first Kevin did not know his leg had suffered such a horrible incident. Kevin was quoted saying in an interview that he thought his ankle was just hurt. When his coach came over to check on Ware, they both realized the severity of the injury.
The actual video is quite gruesome so I chose not to post it in this post. If you want to see it you can click the link below. I warn you, this video isn't suitable for everyone.
The interview below is of Kevin Ware discussing the severity of his injury and how important it was for his team to win that game. Doctor's say that Kevin's Injury might have been a stressed fracture that was just ignored. For those of you who play college sports make sure to take care of your bodies. Winning a game is important but your well being is what matters the most.
I just want to wish a speedy recovery to this brave young man.
