That's devastating. I'm confident he will be fine. He will no doubt miss the upcoming season and there will be no rush to get him back. Looks like a similar injury mma fighter A. Silva had and he is fighting again very soon; plus he's in his late 30's. Modern medicine with athletes is incredible.
Just read (and saw) about Paul George this morning. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
Amazing how the landscape of the Eastern Conference has changed this off season. Obviously Lebron's return to Cleveland has altered Cleveland as well as Miami, but PG's injry and the loss of Lance Stephenson has dropped the Pacers out of the upper echelon of the East.
I don't think this will hurt his career that much. It's gruesome but it's just a broken leg. The bone will heal and actually be a bit stronger in that area.
I couldn't watch the video, just saw a still. It doesn't look like his knee but his tib/fib. I think he can come back physically to an extent, but mentally? That's a mind ****.
Horrible injury, I was watching the scrimmage live when it happened and was just shocked. It's gonna be a long road back, but an athletic specimen like George at 24 is gonna come back full strength I have no doubt. Its just gonna be a long road
I think some of you guys are overreacting. Like josh said , just a bad break. That part of his bone will be stronger than it was before he injured it. Tendon and ligament injuries are worse. It's just gonna take a lot longer for it to heal, assuming it heals correctly of course.
Yup, Cle has to be the favorite in the east now. I think Chicago will be right there but if Cleveland starts to get chemistry going, they are going to be GOOD. Sounds like they might get Marion too who would be a great addition alongside Lebron IMO.
