Franchise408 116 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 I hesitate to show the YouTube link, due to how gruesome that was. Paul George snaps his leg in Team USA game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,031 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 I've been here for 30 minutes just bummed out for the guy and those aren't exactly the words I'd choose. Hope he recovers completely, really like the kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 Poor guy, he's one of the best players in the league and I've got the privilege to watch him play alot while he was at Fresno St. Prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 I think the Kevin Ware injury was worse And he hasn't really returned. Bad stuff. That's the kind of injury that can sink a franchise for years (see Grant Hill injury). It'll be interesting to see if Indiana does a fire sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was a bummer to watch live during a dumb scrimmage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Agreed. When Livingston did something similar his ability never really came back to where it was. Was a bummer to watch live during a dumb scrimmage. Livingston tore everything in his knee, with this being a broken bone it can heal fully. I think it will impact him psychologically more than physically. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
