This sucks for the league. Just a bad injury and being a Bulls fan and seeing what happened to Rose, I can sympathize for Indy fans.

[Demitri98]

:eek:

[aboss4real24]

it was his foot not his leg


its prolly jus a fracture

[RoseCity07]

Assuming that he just broke bone he'll be back better than ever. Bones heal really well.

[no pun intended]

it was his foot not his leg

That was his leg man, no doubt.

Damn :( Seen it too. Hate seeing this shit happen. PRAY FOR PG!

They should probably withdraw from basketball all together. It can happen anywhere anytime if you're playing ball. Granted, you want to mitigate those risks unless you're getting paid for it but this could've happened in practice.

this is basketball, not football, injuries are rare.

[L8krH8tr]

he needs to make sure he keeps it stable so it heals in place and then strengthen the tendons and work out the inflammation and scar tissue. Might take 6 months to a year.

[iTare]

micro fractures in your bones from workouts that you dont allow time to heal, so they fracture more until making a play like that causes it to completely snap.

the team practiced 4 days in a row with this game at the tail end. never had a day to rest from their workout.

[D-Rose]

Absolutely heart breaking.

[KBaller33]

in a scrimmage, man....that's gotta fcuk with these guys' heads. absolutely brutal

Exactly. How can they expect KD or Rose to play hard after seeing that?

Pull Harden out now!

That's a compound fracture no doubt. Yikes.

I think they need to move the goals back.

That's exactly how Nerlens injured himself, chasing down a lay up.

For that matter, they need to move everyone off the baselines. Cameras too.

[DirkNowitzki41]

wow. ****ing awful. couldn't stand to watch that replay more than once

really hope he makes a full recovery

[bluechox2]

good luck on the recovery pg

anyone know how long it will take for him to come back?

[KBaller33]

Eventually lesser NBA players and college players are going to suit up for Team USA. Too much risk for these star players.

I have to agree with only moving the people off the sideline.

[HylianNightmare]

Watching the first half of the game and a buddy a mine came through so we stepped outside just shooting the shit. walk back in and see this. What a night. Hope he recovers as well as possible

[Cavalier]

The base of the hoop looks like it was really close to the baseline, where in the NBA there's a lot more space under the rim. I don't think he would have broken his leg had his foot not gotten pinned at the base of the padding. Someone needs to fix that.

[IncarceratedBob]

Pacers will likely void his contract extension and he's obviously out this year. Maybe the Lakers can get him

[Noof]

I think they need to move the goals back.

That's what I was thinking. Make the stanchion longer and move it farther back. And yeah guys are always cutting themselves on the cameras.

[UK2K]

Why the **** would they do that?

[USABall]

Utmost respect given to the guy.. Love seeing a player play for his country and hope he makes a full recovery...

I can only imagine how sad the organization/fans are :(

[Poetry]

"Tim Hewett, director of sports medicine research at Ohio State University agreed. He speculated that Ware's diet could have been deficient in vitamin D and calcium leading to more porous bones. That, combined with the constant pounding Ware endured through an entire season of basketball, may have created small stress fractures in the tibia and fibula bones in his lower leg, causing his bone to snap when he took a bad step."

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/kevin-wares-broken-leg-possibly-caused-undetected-stress/story?id=18854412#.UVq5VBn1tFs

If this really is part of the cause, they should screen players to see if they're deficient in Vitamin D so they can take supplements.

[Profound]

Such an unfortunate thing to happen, doesn't look like it's anything like shaun Livingston's injury... I hope. Hopefully he can come back strong later into the season.

He's obviously never gonna be the same after this. Just look at what it did for Sid. He could never compete at the same level. Pacers have all the right to void the contract, George never received permission to play.

So the year after Kobe retires we got

Bledsoe / Clarkson
George / Jackson
Durant / Ariza / Roberts
Randle / ???
Love / Sacre

[ThePhantomCreep]

Awful injury that has career ending written all over it. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Fuggin' sucks man.

If he's not gonna be the same then why do you want him so bad?

There is zero chance they would release him. If anything they'll suck and use the nice draft pick they get to draft a PG. West and Hill will be coming off the books.

Pacers will have an entirely new team next season.

[9erempiree]

[toxicxr6]

Seriously just saw this and its FKN AWEFUL

anyone who is talking crap about PG and this injury doesn't belong on this site


now saying that in the Australian football I have seen the EXACT same injury 2 times happen.....

Time frame is around 12 months to recover from this.. no way he plays next season...

on the 2 occasions I have seen this happen.. one player came back as only a shadow of what he was previously... he was also in the second half of his career so maybe he was declining anyways..

the second player was around 22/23 years old... took a year to recover and came back pretty decent.. but he did lose abit... he still wasn't the same player...


Man shit like this is horrible.. no matter what team you follow

[pegasus]

That's just horrible.:facepalm I hope he comes back better than ever and soon. I feel your pain Pacers fans.

Man I hope PG recovers but I hear that some people end up with a permanent limp from a clean leg break like that.

How is Ware doing these days?

I know where he went.

It was quite a circus when him and Behanan were constantly being 'indefinitely' suspended and then coming back in a week.

From Ware's driving record to Chane's drug use and his affinity for high school girls, they made quite the tandem.

He transferred because he was no longer welcome at the UL program.

For us old heads, this, of course, reminds us of Joe Theismann. Ended his career, but he was 36 anyway...

My broken leg severely affected my athleticism, but I'm sure Paul George will have really good doctors that care.

[KG215]

I know where he went.

It was quite a circus when him and Behanan were constantly being 'indefinitely' suspended and then coming back in a week.

From Ware's driving record to Chane's drug use and his affinity for high school girls, they made quite the tandem.

He transferred because he was no longer welcome at the UL program.
So how much of this is truth (about Ware) and how much of this is a Kentucky fan's sensationlized rambling?

My brother was close with the basketball team. That, and one of the equipment managers was my brother's friend who we went to high school with.


LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kevin Ware missed a court appearance Monday morning for reckless driving and speeding in Barren County, and questions have arisen regarding the car he was driving when he was ticketed.

A Kentucky State Police officer clocked Ware doing 95 mph in a 2013 Dodge Challenger as he drove through a construction zone on I-65 South on Oct. 26, according to documents obtained from the Barren County Circuit Court clerk. Ware's court appearance was rescheduled for next Monday.


Chane Behanan now has to move on with his life, as he's been kicked out of the Louisville basketball program. What will his next step be? The talented former Cardinals forward has a future in pro basketball, but he could opt to transfer within the college ranks and finish up his career there, still. He's currently a junior, and there are options -- albeit strictly outside of the ACC and AAC.

But first? Behanan's going to take care of himself and head to Houston. He's going to work with former NBA coach John Lucas and take some time at Lucas' rehabilation facility, the John Lucas Treatment and Recovery Center.

Louisville is a small city. People talk. My brother was a financial aid counselor at UL for several years, and I played pick up ball with him at the SAC and saw these guys on several occasions. Its not a mystery.

I've also broken my leg (tibia/fibula), and yes, it really does screw up your athleticism and mobility. I still have the scar/bone over bone lump.

Dont know about PG, but breaking my leg was probably the worst day of my life. :oldlol:

Alright, just checking. I'll take your word for it. I'm a UNC fan and, even though I still hate coach K and Duke with every fiber of my being, I tend to go over the top sometimes in talking about him and current and former Duke players.

Ware was dismissed from the team in July (the summer after his broken leg) for multiple team violations. UL spokespeople, when asked, would not deny it, instead stating that he was on the team 'as of now'.

He then was pulled over for doing 95 in a 55, which happened to be a construction zone, in a Dodge Challenger owned by a former student (which got C.J. Leslie suspended for 3 games when he was in school), and then instead of informing the team, simply ignored his court date and had a warrant issued.

He's a model citizen.

UL hasn't had a one and done in years, if ever.

why the fukk do they use these kinds of baskets.. ??...:mad: .................use the ones that hang down from the ceilling

That's really sad, hope he recovers soon. Official basketball courts should be redesigned after this. From the ceiling should be the standard and ample space for players to land on below the ring. :(

I also think all the photographers should be moved off the floor. The hardwood floor space whether it be inbounds or out should all be totally EMPTY

go to hell

I was born in Hell. Hell hates me even tough I love it. I became one with Hell. I am hell. Hell breeds with me every cold night. Hell makes me strong sucking all my energy out of me. Hell is a lovely place for people without future like me. I will make sure that I can drag anybody I can here, to enjoy eternal loneness together. COME WITH ME BROTHER, COME TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!

right !

[oh the horror]

This is a lot to think about. Possible re-positioning of court side stuff like the basket base and star players involvement in international play

[Milbuck]

It's a really dark situation right now..but honestly with the compound fracture if it's a clean break, it should be less severe long-term than a ligament/tendon injury right? There's the chance for nerve complications and infections and all that but with the level of care these pro athletes get he should be fine. Right now it's more gruesome visually than it is medically relative to other series injuries like ACL tears and achilles ruptures. It's awful, but a bone injury is much better than what it could've been. All in all it'll come down to his mentality coming back from the injury and his work ethic to return physically to who he was before..and from what we've seen from him, I think he'll be okay.

[T_L_P]

I've been gone all day and I got home to read this shit? I feel terrible. :(

[davehos]

I'm as salty as they can be but you assholes making fun or light of someone's leg literally snapping in two ...

Shameful.

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.

^^^^^^^^^Okay internet doctors.... whats the timeline for that?^^^^^^^

[UK2K]

Dr. Mark Adickes @jocktodoc
Pacers Paul George suffers lower leg fracture. In the absence of nerve injury this injury should heal well after surgery. 6 month recovery.

Never mind... I dont need you.

[9erempiree]

seriously, photographers need to be off the floor. I don't get why there needs to be photographers there.

[Just2McFly]

Damn, they said Kyrie Irving was in the locker-room about 30 minutes after the game was calling crying on his dad's shoulder.
:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

if thats true someone needs to give kyrie some perspective in life

[Good Ol JR]

BY GAWD BY GAWD his leg may be broken in half. Have mercy on this poor kids soul.

[AcquiringSteak]

oh man that looked really bad..

reminded me of anderson silva in the UFC, hope for a strong recovery

[Denitron]

Just woke up and heard the news. Truly awful

Wishing him a speedy recovery

[KOBEtherealKing]

Pg could have broke his leg just by landing on it wrong. Don't blame the photographers but i'm down with the basket hanging from the ceiling idea.

[outbreak]

jeez just watched it that's horrible. Hopefully there's no nerve damage

I hope he gets back on the court at full strength. I really hate that this happened, period.

Assuming that he just broke bone he'll be back better than ever. Bones heal really well.

Tell that to Bill Walton.

[Marv_Albert]

Yo PG was taken it like a boss doe, wasn't even flinching I would have screamed like a girl!

[bdreason]

I'm no doctor, but I think a bone break is usually better than an ACL tear. Hopefully he can recover 100% and be back for the playoffs.

He was in shock dude..he probably didn't even feel it when it happened. He'll sure as hell feel it tomorrow though.

Nah the Bulls are much better than Indiana, especially since they lost Lance

Not if Rose goes back down.

Takes about 6 months to return after a broken leg.

From what I've heard, leg injuries like that are a long painful recovery.

And it was just a meaningless exhibition game. Wish him 100% recovery. Indiana will be a lottery team next season

That's a compound fracture no doubt. Yikes.

Not unless the bone pierced the skin it isn't a compound fracture FYI

this. you wont feel the pain and youll be in shock. after that it was the most agonizing hours of my life. i broke my leg a couple of years back

The injury has already been confirmed to be a compound fracture. FYI.

Do you honestly believe that they make ~$300 per video?

[smoovegittar]

I feel terrible for him, the organization and the fans. This after losing Lance...Damn! God willing, he'll be back on the court in 2 years, strong.

I remember how I felt when Ewing went down. One of the reasons I don't begrudge players going after every red cent. Stay strong, Indiana.

[Goldrush25]

Pacers will likely void his contract extension and he's obviously out this year. Maybe the Lakers can get him

They can't do that. His money is guaranteed.

In cases like this, insurance will pay a portion of his contract money in the event that he can't perform for a while. Makes no sense for Indiana to try to do anything until they see how he recovers.

[Rose'sACL]

Do you honestly believe that they make ~$300 per video?
If around 70% of your viewers are from 1st world countries then you make anything from 5k-10k depending on the topic of your video. NBA videos have a really good ad click/watch rate compared to coding related videos as most nba viewers don't have plugins to block ads.
Most nba videos would get you $5-7k per million viewers at least.
