CBS has stopped showing footage of Kevin Ware’s horrific injury where his lower right leg snapped in half during Louisville’s game against Duke yesterday, due to its graphic nature.

CBS had showed two initial replays of the injury in slow-motion and commentator Clark Kellogg described it as “gruesome.” “If you can bear to watch it, take a look, but it’s a gruesome-looking injury,” he said.

A close-up image of the graphic footage was not shown by the network. However, CBS focused on the reaction from fellow team mates and the crowd.

Team members cried after realizing the horrific nature of the injury.

Louisville made it to the Elite Eight and were leading 21-20 when Ware suffered the gruesome injury in which his lower right leg seemingly seemed to snap in half. The injury occurred with only 6:33 left in the first half of the game.
The graphic nature of the injury made fellow team mates emotional, with some seen crying and turning to each other for support, while other reports say people nearby have vomited.
The injury happened when he jumped up to block a three-point shot by Tyler Thornton of Duke. However, his leg collapsed upon landing. He was later taken away on a stretcher and the game resumed several minutes later.
Ware suffered a broken leg and was taken to a hospital near the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
