Louisville’s Kevin Ware Dunking Again

By Josh Helmuth

It’s a moment I will never forget; watching Louisville’s Kevin Ware snap his tibia in the Regional Final against Duke while contesting a three-pointer.

I’m not sure I’ve ever prayed so hard for a player’s recovery — let alone a player I didn’t even know personally. It was an injury that was borderline tragic. It was definitely traumatic.

I spoke with an orthopedic surgeon out of L.A. who said it would most likely take a year before Ware is back to playing basketball again. Considering Ware is already dunking after just six months, I would say his rehab is going amazing.
