Just awful. Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware landed awkwardly during a game against Duke University on Mar. 31, and broke his leg in what appeared to be multiple places. Keep reading for more details.
This is when sports can just rip your heart out. Kevin Ware, a sophomore on the Louisville basketball team, landed awkwardly after contesting a shot and horrifically broke his right leg, his bone popping out of the skin.
Kevin Ware Suffers Terrible Leg Injury
Kevin needed to be stretchered off the court, causing a huge stoppage in the game and destroying Kevin’s Louisville teammates emotionally. The injury was so obviously brutal that one teammate dropped to his knees in horror upon seeing it and several others could hardly compose themselves, using their jerseys to shield their faces. Coach Rick Pitino, gathering his squad together, did all he could to fight back tears.
Louisville’s opponent Duke also struggled to regain their composure after Kevin’s leg collapsed into pieces, covering their eyes and wincing sympathetically.
It’s such an awful — and honestly, rare — thing to happen at any time in a basketball game, but it must hurt that much more because Kevin and his team were competing in the Elite Eight, just three wins away from winning the national championship. Needless to say Kevin’s season is over, and we pray that doctors will be able to nurse him back to the point where he can play basketball again.
You can watch footage of Kevin’s injury below, but be forewarned, the clip is extremely graphic and upsetting.
Our thoughts are with Kevin, his family, and the Louisville basketball team.
