NBA – Last night Paul George suffered a gruesome leg break towards the end of the Team USA scrimmage as they prepared for the FIBA World Cup. [WARNING: LINK CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL] George has already undergone successful surgery on his open compound fractured lower right leg and the good news is that there’s no ancillary damage which should help his recovery. Unfortunately he’s still likely to miss most, if not all, of the upcoming NBA season and the Pacers have already moved from +2000 to +3500 to win the title.
