Louisville guard Kevin Ware has been cleared to travel with the team to Atlanta for this weekend's national semifinal against Wichita State.
Ware sat down for an interview with ESPN's Rece Davis on Wednesday, his first on camera since sustaining compound fractures of his tibia Sunday in the first half of a 85-63 win over Duke in the Midwest Regional.
He underwent surgery and was expected to be out a year.
Ware said he was told his injury was determined to be a freak accident.
"The full force of me jumping so high and not seeing where I was landing caused the actual break," he said. "That's really all I got out of it."
The sophomore guard returned to campus Tuesday afternoon after being released from an Indianapolis hospital.
