CBS has limited replaying the slow-motion footage of Kevin Ware's horrific injury where his lower right leg snapped in half during Louisville's game against Duke on Sunday.

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.

Due to the graphic nature of the injury, a close-up image of the footage was not shown by the network.

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 with all his body weight.

Ware was swiftly taken away on a stretcher and the game resumed several minutes later. He was in surgery for two hours where he had a his bone reset and a rod placed in his tibia.

Ware is currently recovering from the injury at the Methodist Hospital nearby. He recently spoke about the incident from his hospital bed, saying it was all a blur.

He said that when he landed awkwardly on his right leg, he thought he just sprained his ankle, but it was the look on Lousiville Head coach Rick Pitino's face that said it all.

Ware said he then looked down at his leg and saw the bone that had punctured his skin, then he immediately went into shock. "In the moment, you don't know what's wrong with you. You're just looking, thinking, 'How did this happen?' I never watched the replay. I never want to," Ware said.

The Louisville guard told ESPN by phone on Monday that he will be fine. "Hopefully I'll be back in time to watch practice. It hurts but I'll be fine. I'll be fine."

Ware received overwhelming support for his injury, including messages from big names such as Dwight Howard, Lebron James, Carmely Anthony, Rajon Rondo and Charles Barkley. NCAA president Mark Emmert also reportedly visited him in hospital.

"I've never had this much support in my life," Ware said. "Like, I'm just so grateful for it, you know?"
