U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal suffered a broken leg during Saturday’s UConn championship parade in downtown Hartford, and he has since been discharged from the hospital after surgery on Sunday.
During the parade to celebrate the school’s national championship in men’s basketball, a cameraman was walking backward and ran into the Connecticut Democrat. They both fell on the street after the collision. Blumenthal proceeded to get back up and finish the parade route despite the injury.
The 77-year-old tweeted an update on his injury status Saturday night hours after the parade.

Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz had surgery for a fractured fibula and ligament damage to his left ankle and is not expected to return for four months.
The Cardinals are mulling whether to keep the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft, with at least six teams inquiring if they’ll trade it, sources told ESPN.
Rudy Gobert was involved in one of the worst trades in NBA history, and it only got worse over the weekend. The 30-year-old center got himself in quite a bit of trouble, which has now put his team down two important players for its most important game of the year.
