Over the weekend NBA All-Star Paul George was hurt during the U.S. national team intasquad scrimmage game. Paul suffered a horrible injury by breaking his leg during the game.
Associated Press reports;
George leaped to contest a fast-break layup by James Harden with 9:33 left in the fourth quarter and his leg smashed against the bottom of the backboard stanchion and crumpled.
Trainers immediately ran onto the floor and after roughly 10 minutes of stoppage, George was taken out of the arena on a stretcher. With players looking visibly upset, coach Mike Krzyzewski then announced to the crowd that the scrimmage would not be finished out of respect to George and his family.
“There’s no way the game could have gone on under the circumstances,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.
