Ware announced via Twitter over the weekend that he had his cast removed from his broken right leg and was able stand on his own feet. WDRB.com reported that the sophomore was shooting baskets. He broke his right tibia in Louisville's Elite Eight win over Duke on March 31 and was in a cast for eight weeks.
