    Was just going to say, wouldn't consciously trying to plan your landing to avoid injury make you more likely to actually injure yourself. Once you start thinking about motions your body naturally makes itself you're knocking on harm's door.

      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

      Candace Buckner @CandaceDBuckner
      Conflicting reports but several people I've talked to said that bone did in fact go through PG's skin.

      Paul George expected to be hospitalized 2-3 days in Las Vegas.

              As bad as the injury is, I hope that this doesn't cower guys away from playing International ball. Could have happened on an NBA court, too.

                I made the post before I went to bed, so I kind've did a bad job of explaining what I meant, maybe ill expand on it in the balling thread, lol

                Guess that initial report is 'good' though, but like they said, guess they won't really know until they get in there

                  Didn't see the injury, but the way the people on ESPN were talking about just made me feel sick for PG. I immediately started praying for him. Just terrible for that to happen the way that it did.

                    Pacers still have their franchise player.
                    I broke my tibia/fibia getting side swiped by a car. Mine wasn't 90 degrees like his but it was still a clean break. I had the cast off 3 months later, and took me another month to get my strength back to walk normally. Im guessing PG will need 1-2 extra to be able to hop out of the gym again.

                    I think the biggest problem for PG isn't the bonebreak but how well they repair any neurovascular problems during and after the surgery. However given they probably got top docs working on him, that shouldn't be an issue.

                      Prayers go out to Paul. The owners chiming in now is really unneccesary as that type of injury could happen to anyone due to how close the expansion is to the court.

                      How bout doing the obvious. Don't play anymore FIBA, Summer League, All-Star games @ Thomas & Mack until they are able to move that expansion back..

                        This is GREAT news. Sounds like he can bounce back from this.
