INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — School officials say that Louisville guard Kevin Ware has been taken to a local hospital after sustaining a broken lower right leg during the first half of Sunday's Midwest Regional final against Duke.
The injury occurred with 6:33 left in the first half as Duke's Tyler Thornton made a 3-pointer. Ware tried to contest the shot and his leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle.
Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein said hospital officials told the school that Ware was ''resting comfortably'' and that the pain is ''under control.''
