 Louisville’s Kevin Ware vows to return from gruesome leg injury: ‘This is a minor setback for a major comeback’ Ware broke his right leg during the first half of top-seeded Louisville's win over No. 2 Duke on Sunday.

 Kevin Ware takes his first step toward recovery by walking with the help of crutches. 
 
 Kevin Ware's leg may be broken but his spirit is intact. And the Louisville sophomore, who suffered a gruesome leg injury during an NCAA Elite Eight game on Sunday, plans to use the positive outlook his mother passed down to him to one day make it back onto the basketball court. 
 
 Speaking to the Daily News by phone while sitting in a hospital bed in Indianapolis on Monday afternoon, Ware, who grew up in the Bronx before moving to the Atlanta area prior to high school, made the horrific injury he suffered -- witnessed by a national television audience -- sound like a mere bump in the road in a life in basketball. 
 
 "This is a minor setback for a major comeback," Ware 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. 
 
 "But getting to where I want to be and where I need to be is gonna take some time."

 Ware lay in agony right in front of his team's bench, his teammates all turning away abruptly, horrified by the scene. Some pulled their jerseys over eyes; others vomited. Coach Rick Pitino had tears in his eyes. 
 
 But it was even worse for Ware's mother, Lisa Junior, who was at her sister's house in Georgia, watching the game with family and friends. Not in Indianapolis because of her son's confidence that the team's next game would be played in Atlanta - site of the Final Four - Junior had a helpless feeling, knowing her son was under such duress and that she could not be with him. 
 
 As she sat next to Ware's hospital bed Monday, Junior told The News that she and other family members were "distraught" when the injury occurred. She did not see it happen initially but did see one replay before vowing to never watch it again. 
 
 About 30 to 45 minutes after Ware was hurt, Junior received a phone call from her son, who was at the hospital, stabilized. 
 
 "He said, 'Mom, calm down. I'm okay,'" she said. "He just kept saying, 'Mom, calm down.'"

 At that moment, Junior regretted taking Kevin's advice about not traveling to Indianapolis for the game. She was about 530 miles away from her son when he underwent successful surgery later Sunday. 
 
 "It was mostly a helpless feeling because I wasn't there," she said. "We just prayed and we had encouraging words. I wasn't the only distraught one but everybody was very positive."
