Say What? Kevin Ware Back on Court in October?

Injured Louisville guard Kevin Ware could return to play as early as October.

Cardinals head coach Rick Pitino said Tuesday that he is impressed by Ware’s progress in rehabilitation, which recently included riding a stationary bicycle.

Ware fractured his leg with a gruesome injury during Louisville’s regional final win over Duke. The incident caused the regrouping the Cardinals needed to go on to win their third NCAA title.

“He’s just riding the bike, and you can almost see from the X-rays the bone healing,” Pitino said. “I’d say in another month he’ll be healed, and then he’ll start working out a little bit.”
