Other leg.

But thanks for scaring everyone.

Garbage. Needless to say but I hope he is ok. Could have just rested the season rather than risk it. Lesson learned.

Calf soreness. First time I've agreed with Jon Barry in awhile, good bad news.

Didn't look bad, not injured leg

He'll have plenty of time to recover

Glad he's okay.

This is normal when you're trying to overcompensate for the other leg. Also playing a back to back after a double overtime game (where the coach actually played him in OT) probably was not the best idea, but I understand the desperation.

I blame Bird. There's no reason for him to have played a single game this season, yet, good 'ole Larry felt it would be, "good for the psyche".

Smh. What does this do for the psyche, Larry?

Don't scare us.... I really hope it's calf soreness....

Yeah, I understand that the Pacers want to make the playoffs but after that double OT game last night in which he exceeded his minutes restriction, tonight should've been a no-go.

I hope he's ok. Thankfully, he's not the right leg again and I hope it's just a small issue with the left leg.

They just played last night against the Wizards. George came back in after his "soft" 15 minutes playing time last night.

I hope they error on the side of caution with him.

Blaming this on Larry? I'm sure the team doctors wouldn't have let him play if they didn't feel he could. He was on limited minutes and the Vogel adhered to those minutes.

He never should have returned this season. Better to miss the playoffs and get a nice pick and come back next year and try to make a run instead of rushing back to try and squeeze into the playoffs only to get stomped by ATL or CLE

Its a calf strain. Some of these comments would make you think he blew out his knee or his leg fell off.

He'll be fine.
