Paul George injured at Team USA Scrimmage

[Glenn]

That's a fracture and a bad one at that. Their head orthopedic surgeon was down there.

 

[mac]

That did not look good.

 

[kingsboi]

whoa...that ankle just snapped.

 

[dude12]

Oh man...bad break for P George

 

[Glenn]

So much for Paul George's season.

 

[jcwkings]

Terrible

 

[rainmaker]

Sick to my stomach.

 

[The_Jamal]

Jeez... Talk about a nightmare scenario

 

[Glenn]

Sick to my stomach.

Yup.

 

[Glenn]

There are a variety of reasons why they should call it a day and go home and one is that they would be too distracted to play and that could lead to more damage.

 

[mac]

I tuned in for like 2 minutes and this happened Really feel bad for these guys, Paul George and Pacers fans.

 

[kingsboi]

What a tough break for George. He's really been on the come up, and now with this...I'm curious to see how long he will be out.

 

[annihilator_33]

Absolutely horrible....they made the right call on ending the game

No question cancelling the rest of the scrimmage was the right call.

It seemed similar to Kevin Ware's injury......

I instantly regretted Googling "Kevin Ware injury"

I presume that's not a pun. Reminds me of Theissman's break. To put the best positive spin I can do I'd say he's lucky it wasn't an ankle or knee. It's ugly just the same.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's already on Youtube. Not, funny, huh?

 

[Entity]

I think Cuz said "are we going to play?" Upon further review, it looked more like "I don't want to play anymore." Anyone else a mediocre lip reader?"

Yeah he said I don't wanna play no more

 

[flamecrow]

Ouch Paul. So sad :-(

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No disrespect, boss, but that's taking "glass half full" to a whole other level.

 

[Glenn]

No disrespect, boss, but that's taking "glass half full" to a whole other level.

Not good, huh?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Oh my god. Just terrible. So sad to see something happen like this to any player, especially in a freakin scrimmage

 

[rainmaker]

I tend to agree with Glenn. It looked like a bone injury, whereas if it were a serious knee injury, his knee might never be the same. As bad as this looked, if it's just a bone break as it appeared, should be good to go a little over a year from now. Bones heal much better than ligaments and tendons.

If you want to take a positive out of it, he better hope that its a broken bone rather than a ligament.

 

[kingsboi]

Indeed. We see how that ended up for him, he is no where to be found these days.

 

[Glenn]

That's what I meant. Big difference. It seemed high enough off his ankle to just be a break. I hope that's so.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Feel bad for George and his family. Can't help but feel bad for Pacers fans, too. First the brawl, then Granger, and now George; it's like a dark cloud that they can't get clear of.

 

[Chupacabra]

This was horrible. You rarely see injuries of this magnitude, let alone injuries to star players in such a setting. Here's to wishing George a speedy recovery. I agree that it looked like a bone break and not the ankle. My guess for his replacement would be Derozen.

Like Chris Webber always says when he's doing a broadcast and someone falls into the crowd "They really need to move those cameramen off the floor and move the stanchion back, it's going to take an injury to a superstar before something is done about it"

I've read reports that the stanchion was twenty-six inches closer than it would be in an NBA game.
