Activities stories that Ware could have surgery on the leg on Sunday night: ---End of update--- With just over six minutes remaining in the initial half, Ware attempted to defend a shot from Tyler Thornton. He landed awkwardly and his knee seemed to bend the wrong manner on the court. You will see a video of the harm here. (Warning: Please note that the picture is disturbing.)

After seeing the harm, the Louisville people struggled to keep their composure. Jim Forde of Yahoo! Sports described the initial sequence: The reaction was discussed by pete ThamelAalso from the team: However, that has been only the start. Zach Schonbrun of the New York Times saw things get worse on the bench: You might see the pain on his teammates' looks while Ware had been carted off the court: Photo courtesy of CBS broadcast, via Bleacher Report Photo due to CBS broadcast, via Bleacher Report As the whole extent of the injury is unknown, Luke Winn of Sports Illustrated had some details: It'll be difficult to imagine how any of the players on the court will answer this event. Ware only averaged 4.6 points per game this season, but he's a good contributor on both sides of the court and is just a gifted three-point shooter. He was also coming off his best sport of the year with 11 points in the gain against Oregon. Louisville can now look to move forward away from not merely the real loss of Ware but additionally the psychological cost that viewing the injury took on the players. Hopefully, the Cardinals could perform their utmost basketball to recognize their wounded teammate.
