Kevin Ware confirmed through ESPN that he is transferring to finish his college career. Ware — who gained national attention when he broke his leg in last year’s national championship run — is reportedly going somewhere closer to his family in Georgia.

Ware red-shirted this season after averaging a mere 1.7 points per game in his first nine appearances  of the season, before suffering a leg injury to the same leg that was broken the previous season.

Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said “We wish Kevin godspeed.”

This is a developing story, the Louisville Cardinal will update as more information becomes available.
