Paul George suffered horrendous injury

[cheekydave]

Looked like he snapped his leg off at the shin

NSFL video. yuck.

 

[Puffy]

I wish I hadn't watched that. That was the worst.

 

[Yaz4Ever]

I can't unsee that.

 

[Nuf Ced]

I NEED TO UNSEE THAT

 

[cheekydave]

Reminds me of Joe Theisman, hope his career isnt over

 

[mandro ramtinez]

That is horrific in every way. Sucks for a young guy on his way to a nice career.

[MakMan44]

That was awful. 

 

[Blacken]

Yup. Didn't need to see that.

Shit.

 

[Nuf Ced]

Worst court injury I've seen since Kevin Ware. Poor bastard.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Horrifying. More gruesome than Thiesman. Damn.

 

[jose melendez]

Psycho Sid style...  his career might be over.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I wish I didn't click that. Holy hell, that was awful. Poor guy.

 

[jsinger121]

Worst injury I have ever seen.

 

[Blacken]

I guess the best news is that that's a bone. He could heal without much of a loss, so long as the muscle trauma isn't too severe.

 

[soxhop411]

I said this in the other thread but I wonder if this injury causes the NBA to pull out of the tourney.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Definitely brutal, but you cancel the game over it?  Really?

 

[Blacken]

I said this in the other thread but I wonder if this injury causes the NBA to pull out of the tourney.

I think it's unlikely because the NBA wants to be in the Olympics and they won't be in the Olympics if they don't do the FIBA championships.

 

[Blacken]

Are you insane? It's a scrimmage.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

I guess the best news is that that's a bone. Bones can heal.

Kinda my (admittedly undereducated) thought as well. Obviously will take a while, but that's gotta be a pure tibia fracture, with hopefully not much else.

I only know a bit from really fucking up my shin a few years ago. (Not to this degree, but well off-plumb.) Where's DRS when you (wish you didn't) need him?

I thought to myself " It can't be that awful, I'm gonna watch it."

It was that awful. I wish I hadn't seen that.

Poor bastard!

Unless this is sarcastic, I vote for this being the dumbest comment in the history of SoSH. 

 

[Nomar813]

$10 to DRS if he can tell me when my stomach will stop turning.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

That's the worst injury I've ever seen.  I once heard a teammate's elbow do that in college (football), but I didn't see it.  Still, though, I'll never forget the sound, or his arm bending the wrong way when he got up.  
 
Horrible break for George and the Pacers.  In a damn scrimmage no less

 

[Sox and Rocks]

WTF?

I believe Radsoxfan is a Port Cellar dweller MD who could shed some light. There's just something more visceral to see these fractures as opposed to even severe ACL/MCL's. It's hard to grok that the prognosis can actually be better.

 

[86spike]

I would assume that type of injury is mostly seen in auto accident victims. Jesus.

Would a hug help?  I think you need a hug.

Oh, hi. TELL ME EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OK.

 

[radsoxfan]

I need people to stop making moronic comments about fact that they canceled the last quarter of a scrimmage when someone suffered a career threatening injury. 

 

[Blacken]

Windhorst reporting the stanchion was closer to the court (I know it's closer than in the NBA but I thought he said closer than FIBA rules?). If that's the case…I don't really want to follow that up.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

If people paid FUCKING MONEY to watch said scrimmage, I hope they were all refunded.
 
And yeah, you definitely need a hug.

 

[radsoxfan]

Well it was gruesome for sure, just hope for no major vascular or neurologic injury. It's basically the Kevin Ware scenario.  
 
Not automatically career ending by any means, but I even if all goes well he isn't going to be back very soon.  Obviously out a big chunk of the NBA season at minimum.
 
Ware actually made it back in about 6 months, but had a setback and eventually had to redshirt the following season.

If I was there and saw that, I would be leaving anyway. That's a fucking mood killer if there ever was one.

From the comments:

I haven't seen an NBA player broke that badly in Vegas since Antoine Walker.

Laughter is the best medicine, right?

For some bewildering reason I decided to click on this link. I then saw the still they provided of his landing and immediately changed my mind. Jesus Christ.

Forget his career, I hope he'll be able to walk right after that.

Edit: minutes later and I'm not sure I'll be able to walk right after that. Bleugh.

 

[bosoxsue]

If we think seeing it was bad, I can only imagine being near him and hearing it. 

 

[radsoxfan]

Considering the crowd cheered when Coach K cancelled the last 9 minutes of the scrimmage, I think they'll get over their lack of a refund.

Probably was a crack like a gunshot. Bones do that especially the big ones.

I dont have the stomach to watch it. (Never watched Theismann either.) Was the bone poking out?

 

[Blacken]

Windhorst reporting the stanchion was closer to the court (I know it's closer than in the NBA but I thought he said closer than FIBA rules?). If that's the case…I don't really want to follow that up.

Shows what I know: it's not closer in FIBA. Four feet backboard-to-baseline for both.

If Windhorst is right, and I hope he's not, this worries me more than the injury right now.

 

[crystalline]

The bone made an appearance, yes. Tough to see in real time though.

Oy.

Hope he heals quick.

 

[mascho]

Will. Never. Unsee.

 

[jon abbey]

Not watching this, the East is going to be awful again next year. 

 

[86spike]

Shaun Livingston's injury was just as bad. Hopefully George can return to form too.

 

[ifmanis5]

That stanchion was way closer then NBA standards, George assumed it shouldn't have been there and played accordingly. Ridiculous and sad. Lawsuits coming?

 

[moly99]

Do you really think the other players want to carry on with an exhibition game after seeing that?
