(AP) — Kevin Ware, the guard whose gruesome right leg injury in the NCAA Midwest regional final became a rallying point during Louisville’s championship run, returned to the court in an exhibition against Pikeville.The junior entered Wednesday night’s game with 13:49 remaining to a standing ovation, moving deliberately at first before picking up the pace on a couple of breaks. Ware was cheered every time he touched the ball, bringing an even bigger roar by hitting a 3-pointer from the right side with 8:28 left to make it 71-44.His return for the preseason game was somewhat surprising. He was expected back for Saturday’s opener against the College of Charleston.
