Injured Louisville guard Kevin Ware has been cleared to travel with his team to Atlanta for Saturday's Final Four matchup against Wichita State, according to ESPN. Ware gave an emotional interview Wednesday morning with Rece Davis, his first on camera appearance since sustaining compound fractures of his tibia Sunday in the first half of an 85-63 win over Duke in the Midwest Regional.
Ware underwent surgery and is expected to be out a year. The sophomore guard told Davis that making the trip wouldn't differ from his previous experience on the road with the team.
"It's going to be how it was before the injury, honestly, you know," Ware said. "It's all business. We'll have fun and celebrate. A lot of the guys are still trying to get over the fact of me being out, not being able to play. But I told them, 'You all are going to be hearing the same out of me.'"
Ware added, in the event Louisville does win the national championship, he wouldn't hesistate in helping cut down the net. "I just want to win at this point," Ware said. "That would mean so much more to me than anything."
