Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware suffered a disturbing leg injury against Duke University in the Elite Eight round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
The injury was reminiscent of the one sustained by Washington Redskin's player Joe Theisman in the 80's.
Ware attempted to block a Duke player's shot near the three-point line. He landed awkwardly on his leg which proceeded to buckle almost immediately. The severity of leg injury actually caused some of his teammates to fall to the ground and a few were forced to tears.
Not only did his leg snap but according to Louisville coach Rick Pitino, "the bone's 6 inches out of his leg."
Ware was transported to a Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where he is surely heavily medicated to "ease" his pain.
