Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffers gruesome compound fracture
Ware will undergo surgery tonight
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 associate athletic director Kenny Klein said Ware's pain is under control and he will likely have surgery tonight.
