That reminded me of Lawrence Taylor sacking Joe Theisman on MNF. Horrible.

I still have nightmares on that one...I have been lucky in life not to have seen such horrific things happen to real people (as opposed to TV/movies).

My best to him for a full recovery.

Not too early in my opinion but it's a bad joke.

Joint injuries would be more serious than a clear break all other things even.

This whole Team USA thing has Bugged me for many many years---Ridiculous to have our BEST NBA players, playing in what should be College-type games...I really hope teams get on the same page--and stop this nonsense.

When it was just The Olympics, I was okay with it (barely)---but Why the hell are they using NBA players in USA games every year---?

With this injury, does anyone think that Bird now regrets not resigning Turner?  Just kidding ;D

Yeah. The whole, "Does Indiana need a SF now? Cuz jeff green.." rational or "Team USA should see this as a wakeup call..." reaction misses the point to me. Its a freak accident, it sucks, and Paul George has a long hard road to walk because of it. Its just really really sad.

These are all from David Chow, a foot/leg surgeon

Horrible! Just saw video of scrimmage.  @Paul_George24  suffers tibia/fibula fracture. Will need surgery (rod). 6-9 months minimum recovery.

Injury for @Paul_George24 is horrific but should not be career threatening like if he dislocated knee. Likely no nerve or artery damage.

Tib/fib fracture @Paul_George24 likely open (bone thru skin). Infection risk. Surgery likely tonight. Prayers with him and his family.

sheesh does he have to @ Paul George

Paul George suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula. Will be in surgery for two hours, to get a pin placed in his leg.

Candace Buckner ?@CandaceDBuckner
People are hopeful that PG's injury is a good kind, because it was a clean break. However, ancillary damage will be known after surgery

Exactly.  Let's just hope that he's alright moving forward.  I wonder if he's going to second guess even attempting chase-down blocks when he comes back.  I'm pretty sure that I would.

Prayers & best wishes to Paul George!

Heaven forbids anyone (not just pro athletes) breaks a single bone, let alone two.

But if you wanted to choose a break, that would have been the type of break you would have wanted to choose. Clean, quick and complete break on both lower extremety bones.

The type of bone breaks you don't want, are the breaks that are not clean, not complete through. These are the breaks where the bone is completely "shattered" and the bones are not just broken, but "pulverized". Where the bone damage isn't resulted into pieces of bone, but dust or powder.

No amount of surgery can effectively repair shattered bone, dust/powder bone. Time & individual self healing abilities will have more say.

Ugh. Sucks for Paul. I wonder what happened to Kevin Ware after the same incident a year ago?

Godspeed in his recovery.
