His foot touched his knee. Everyone on the court saw it and collapsed in pain. All the Louisville kids were bawling. Pitino was wiping his eyes. It was the worst sports injury I've maybe ever seen. Worse than Theismann. Not sure how something like that happens on a basketball court. Really sad.

It was freak. If he had leaned any distance one way or the other on the landing, it probably wouldn't have happened.

Oh my goodness. I saw the Duke player react like he was ready to puke. And if it was worse than Theismann's injury it had to be gruesome.

The differential diagnosis for a young athlete snapping his leg on a non-contact basketball move... has me very concerned.
I saw it when it happened and I yelled. More cringeworthy than anything I've seen. I'm trying to think if it is worse that Theisman, Houston's band cart guy, or the receiver from USM. I think it is.

Theisman's was the worst sports injury that I have seen; actually Darryl Stingley's was probably more gruesome. The Louisville kid just has a broken shin.

Both Theismann and this Louisville kid's injuries were a broken tibia and fibula in the shafts of the bones. The difference is Theismann's involved contact from one of the most powerful players to ever play. This Louisville kid was just landing. He may have rolled an ankle, which can sometimes result in a fracture of the part of the fibula closest to the knee. Sometimes those breaks can be really bad. As a guy who spent 2 years in the athletic training program at Marshall, I'd like to know exactly what went on there.

So you're saying he rolled the ankle, the fibula went out of socket and slammed the floor with all his weight, caused it to break at the weakest point and become compound? I think I prefer that explanation to anything else I was worried about.

As bad as those shin injuries look all of those guys somehow make it back after surgery; I think even ole Theisman made it back. If you want to see a terrible injury then take a look at that Jack Tatum hit on Stingley. IMO that was the worst injury that I recall seeing. I was a middle schooler then and I can still see that shot.

Not really. I'm saying that's a possibility, but that's not how it looked. It happened quickly, and I honestly only watched it once, so I can't say for sure. Usually it's not that it comes out of socket, but it actually breaks right below the knee. It's usually a small fracture and is sometimes not even diagnosed. The tibia is basically never broken. I've never heard of a fracture at the proximal end of the tibia due to a rolled ankle. Sometimes the bony part at the inside of your ankle (your malleolus) can get chipped, but even that is rare and would take one hell of a sprain. It really looked like both bones were fractured before he hit the floor. It's just not an injury I would expect to see in one plane motion without contact on a flat surface.

It didn't roll. He put his foot on the ground and it stuck.

There was a guy that played for us in the early 2000s by the name of Curtis Jones. We were playing a game on ESPN and he caught a pass and had daylight in front of him. One defender dove and grabbed his foot and the next thing anyone knew his toes were pointing behind him. That was pretty sick. I can't remember who we were playing and have never seen it anywhere since.
Also somebody brought up Hank Gaithers. That situation may not be an injury per se, but it was the worst sports tragedy we've seen.

I was more hoping it did than saying for sure it did.
