During the Team USA intrasquad showcase game at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, Indiana Pacers star Paul George suffered an apparent severe lower right leg injury night during the Team USA intrasquad showcase game at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center.
George’s leg appear to buckle as he landed below the basket.
Teammates nearby immediately reacted with Harden doubling over as George recoiled on the baseline. Medics, U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski and members of George’s family who were at the game rushed to his side. His right leg was put in an air cast and he was taken to a local hospital after being treated for about 15 minutes on the court. source
After he left in an ambulance, the rest of the game — which pitted players in camp for the U.S. as it looks to trim its roster ahead of the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain that begins Aug. 30 — was canceled.
