Kevin Ware's leg may be broken but his spirit is intact.
Speaking to the Daily News by phone from a hospital bed in Indianapolis, the Louisville sophomore made it sound like the gruesome leg injury he suffered Sunday was a mere bump on the road.
“This is a minor setback for a major comeback,” he said. “I have to have the right approach to it. They told me things are gonna be good for me. This is not a lifetime injury where I can never play basketball again.”
It certainly didn’t look that way during his team’s Elite 8 game against Duke. Ware went up to block a shot, and came down awkwardly, suffering a compound fracture of his right leg.
