The 6 Most Gruesome Injuries Suffered During a Sports Match

2. Kevin Ware

Sport: Basketball

Year: 2013

Injury: Compound leg fracture

College basketball games we expect to be a little bit calmer than NBA games, but are they? Kevin Ware’s disgusting broken leg proves that contact sports are equally dangerous at all levels. During the 2013 NCAA Tournament, in a match between Louisville and Duke, Ware attempted to block a three-point shot and fell down awkwardly. His leg snapped, and so did his fellow players, the coaches and the crowd; everyone was in shock and utterly revolted. I think this injury is memorable not only due to the seriousness of the broken leg itself, but also because it startled everyone on the court.
