NCAA Player Suffer Serious Injury.

Mod edit: Click if you dare. Very gruesome. 

[spoiler] [/spoiler] that had to hurt. Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome compound fracture in the first half of the Cardinals' Midwest regional final against Duke on Sunday.Kevin Ware looks to pass against Duke before the accident. 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. Ware asked to speak to his teammates and Pitino called them over. Then he was taken off the court on a stretcher and sent by ambulance to Methodist Hospital, which is two miles from the stadium. Louisville associate athletic director Kenny Klein said Ware's pain is under control and he will likely have surgery tonight.

wow, that's very unfortunate. i hope he recovers well.

Love March Madness. My bracket I filled out for work is the worst I have done in years.

That's just gruesome.

Holy shit on a shit sandwich..............

He could be back on the court as soon as three months from now. -Tish-

yea right

[QUOTE="-Tish-"]He could be back on the court as soon as three months from now. Flubbbs

yea right

Yea that looked incredible painful. They say he could be back in a year or so but I doubt he'll ever play again, at least not to the level he plays now. At most he has one more year of college b-ball left. ferrari2001

I am never going to run or jump or even walk again in my life.

Yeah, I saw that happen live.  It was pretty gruesome.

I cringed multiple times watching that.

That's fucked up..............

I should not have clicked that.  Also be warned guys, that when you quote, the image shows up.

Well, at least it doesn't look like their was any knee damage. Horrifly painful and gruesome looking as it was, I don't think leg injuries like that are the hardess thing to recover from if he gets proper treatment. Joint injuries can be so devatating career wise. Good luck to him.

It was a long jump but damn it's crazy how his leg just straight up snapped like that. I saw the video from multiple angles and couldn't figure out why everyone on the bench shuffled back in shock the way they did but having seen that photo...yeah now it makes sense.

EDIT: I know it's an awful injury but the reaction from the bench is comedy gold.

wow. Good thing i'm not squeamish. That's pretty painful to watch. Hope he makes it back to the game ok. 

Holy crap that looks painful.

Yeah the thing is that he wasn't a huge star even before this injury. He may be able to heal pretty well in a few months, but if he tries playing basketball again I think the mental part of it will just drag him down. He'll (justifiably) be terrified to jump.JML897

Eh, I'm sure he'll have some second thoughts his first practice or two, but it's such a freak, getting struck-by-lightning-while-winning-the-lottery injury (and on top of that the one type of injury where you come out the other side less likely to reinjure) that it should be pretty easy to get over. Considering the sh*t I've seen people put out of mind just for rec league type games, I'm sure a college player can get through something like this.

I wrapped the gif in spoiler tags and warned people a bit. It's rather gruesome. 

Looks like he has an extra joint there. Must have snapped that fibula as well. He's not coming back for a year, hopefully it doesn't get infected, that's one of the bigger worries with compound fractures.

damn, don't know how that happens.

Hope he's ok.

How did that even happen? Shouldn't his bones have been built up over years of jumping like that? Could he have had a hairline fracture before that or something?

I will never tell someone to "break a leg" ever again

idk, maybe I would just think that it'd last for a while since I live near Chicago and there's been constant coverage of Derrick Rose trying to come back. After tearing his ACL last year he was cleared to play at least a month ago but he won't because he's uneasy about the whole thing

Thats still brutal every time i see it. What sucks more is i have louisvill going all the way on my bracket at work lol. There goes my 100 dollar gift card...k2theswiss

He's not a very important player on the team. When the injury happened it was a one point game and then after that they went on to crush Duke.

March Madness is crazy but Louisville is still the best team of the four that are left.
