US NBA - Indiana Pacers Star Breaks Leg, Undergoes Surgery

Paul on Stretcher
Indiana Pacers star, the 6-foot 10 Paul George saw his World Cup hopes end after suffering a horrific leg break during the USA team's training camp in Las Vegas, sources report - Daily Mail/AP/Oxford Press.

George, a two-time NBA All Star, was taking part in an inter-squad practice game when he sustained the shocking injury after landing awkwardly. The 24-year-old leaped to contest a lay-up from James Jarden in the 4th quarter, but when he came back down his right leg gave way. He was then led out of the arena on a stretcher as the rest of the USA team watched on shocked at what they had seen.

He has now undergone successful surgery on his broken right leg at the Sunrise Hospital and is expected to remain in the hospital for about three days.

Here’s wishing the big guy speedy recovery!
