I missed it. I was hoping it wasn't bad, but from they way they are talking this is season ending for George.

[DirtySouf]

I'm afraid to watch it. I just fast forwarded past the replay...

Is that a career ending injury?

[RaisingTheBar]

He won't be back until 2015-2016 season. That was horrible. We need to take Davis out of this right now.

[bojangles837]

clean snap of both tibia and fibula. looked awful

Kevin Ware/Tyrone Prothro looking injury. He ain't going to walk on that leg for a couple months. The only silver lining is that it wasn't a knee.

[RaisingTheBar]

I don't even like the Pacers but man do I feel bad.

[da ThRONe]

Why would they not play? The chances of getting injured doesn't increase because Paul George was injured. That's about as illogical reason to bench or stop a game. If people are so worried about injury none of the players should be there. This could happen at any training session or pick up game during the off season.

[Pelifan]

Shouldnt be career ending, but man that was horrible. Indiana should just blow it up now

Probably because the players are all so disheartened that they wouldn't get anything out of finishing the last quarter of this game.

Shouldn't be but at least 1 year of no basketball. Think Kevin Ware.

Still wouldn't want take that chance

[Biasvasospasm]

Agreed that it looks like a tib/fib. Alternatively, could be an ankle fracture/dislocation. Either way, it's not good.

That makes some sense, but the concern that another player is likely to be injured again is a drastic overreaction.

[Pelifan]

At least George was calm. Good for him keeping his composure that could have been a lot worse... I was afraid it was going to happen to Rose tonight. He'd probably cry

[Writhe]

Holy ****, that was a kevin ware... dude's lower leg snapped in half

It's about respect for the dude who just went through a horrific injury. This This is a freakin scrimmage. I'm pissed and I don't even like PG or the Pacers.

If you want to look at it better...

What chance? You mean like playing in the 1st place? Every time a player laces up his sneaker and begin to play/train there's a chance they can get injured. There's no reason to believe playing after a player was injured that the chances of them getting injured is affected in anyway.

Its out of respect bro. Respect for George and respect for the players. This is a scrimmage, a glorified practice. There is nothing riding on this game. And every player on that court looks visibly disturbed and in shock. KD was basically crying. If this was an actual FIBA game, yeah, sure, you play on. It's not. So just let everyone have some time to deal with the emotions of witnessing a very horrific event and regroup tomorrow or next week.

You know what increases chances of getting injury? Playing more *******.

Agreed, but I think it's a matter of decorum/solidarity more than anything else.

I don't see how continuing would be a sign of disrespect to George. I don't have a problem with them stopping it's a scrimmage. People just overreact like all of a sudden to whole team is now endanger of being injured more than it was anytime before or after tip off is what I don't understand.

[Pelicans_fan_504]

All man I feel so bad for Paul, I don't know how those players will be able to play in the tournament after this. I also feel so bad for Pacers fans, I'm almost in tears I can't imagine how they feel.

Did you see the state of mind of the players? You try and continue to play with that in your ueadand something else bad can happen when people don't have their mind right.
