Ugh Paul George

[Clipper Nation]

That's what you get for playing monkeyball style

Re ed take, it had nothing to do with style of play and everything to do with the ing stanchions being too close to the court.... the "monkeyball" schtick has been run into the ground, tbh....

[baseline bum]

I haven't even seen it and from every description I've read, I hope I never do.

It looked way worse than Livingston.

[Clipper Nation]

Am I the only that hates thibs coaching style?

Nope.... Thibs is an overrated hack who runs his players into the ground, chokes to mediocre coaches like Collins and Wittman in the playoffs, is constantly fighting with his front office, but still gets hyped up as a genius and is given all the credit for the '08 Celtics....

Paul George was a man on the court after that horrific injury.

[team-work]

What a horrendous injury! Wish it never happens to anybody again. God bless PG, hope him recovers well. Nothing is more important than health.

This, stone cold. Probably in shock to the point he couldn't react.

[Spurtacus]

Horrific injury. He's in for a long recovery and I hope it doesn't end his career.

[DJR210]

Hope he plays again, big blow to team USA, and the league.

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

now who's gonna pay for his surgery? the Pacers organization? or the US government? really sucks..

[BadOne]

Damn, prayin for that dude. Heart sank when I saw that. RIP Pacer's season.

That's what you get for playing monkeyball style

being athletic and black makes it monkey ball ? And as a result he deserves this injury? Great post

[024]

Holy that looks bad. Such bad luck for George and the Pacers.

[wildcardX]

That could have been Ginobili.

Exactly! STAY HOME MANU. Bubble wrap yourself until next season.

[cd021]

Damn, 6-9 months recovery after the surgery

Thats whats being reported? Thats just bad news. Absolute earliest would be February. Probably best case is he can return just before the playoffs.

SURREAL

[SpurPadre]

I feel bad for PG and Pacer fans. I blame Durant that ing prick...just 'cuz.

[50 cent]

I would be so ing pissed if I was an Indiana fan. Stanchions 2' 2" closer to the court than standard on a NBA Court? That is insanely close to the baseline.

Thank God Kawhi and Manu stayed home.

[cd021]

Padded walls as well don't risk it. But seriously good that he he has 3 months off.

[024]

Yeah that stanchion looked much closer in the picture than what it usually looked. Needless to say, if that was an NBA game court, the injury would not have happened.

[cjw]

They will get what amounts to a second MLE to replace PG for this year, though luxury tax may keep them from using it and they may just tank the season. Time to ship out West (I'd HATE to see him go to a west contender) and Hibbert (maybe to Knicks for Amare and a prospect) if Phil thinks he can rehabilitate him. Could dump Scola on them too.

Thats why photographers and cameramen should be a little further, anyway this was horrible feel bad for him.

[peacemaker885]

Prayers to PG and his family. I doubt he will ever play again.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Ouch!

He should have taken a different angle on that block.

[SpursBills]

Looks like a tibia fracture; it's actually a lot better than a big knee injury; as long as his nerves and vessels still work, they can just put a nail (rod) down the tibia and he'll heal it pretty well in a few months. Bone heals better than ligaments, don't really see this as career-ending or anything. If he's got a neuro/vascular injury prognosis is a lot worse.

[Capt Bringdown]

Ghastly. That's just not fair.
