I haven't watched it, but I saw Kevin Ware's injury live and he reacted the same way, it was a serious freak injury, and based off the reaction of people who have watched yet, yes it was that bad.

Theres no way bledsoe is signing his qualifying offer. this type of freak injury can happen to anyone sucks for paul george and pacer fans but maybe this reminds bledsoe that he would be a fool to leave 48 million on the table

A very classy, balanced, realistic perspective. Great read, ever more proof of the exceptional competence of our organization. 8-)

Terrible injury but if that doesn't serve as a wakeup call to EB then its hopeless.

That was horrible. Thought it was his knee when my son showed a still pic, but after watching the video, looks like a clean break of the tib and fib!!!

Seriously? "Nah not too bad" ?

He's tough so he might not have shown it or maybe he was just in shock but that injury was bad. very bad.

If he's ever the same it will take years IMO...

I posted on the general forum saying that if its on the knee or near it that it tore ligaments... it could take atleast 2 years before he could even play competitive basketball... just like Shaun Livingston.
I dont think he would be an all-star for a while... maybe 3-4 years after recovery, he could play near his old self again.

If bone... then 1 year.... and thats assuming just clean bone break, no ligaments and cartilage tear/damage etc.

I'm praying its a bone break...

He'd be extremely lucky if it's just his bone. That was a truly freakish and horrific injury.

Bledsoe playing for QO just plummeted to under 1% after that Paul George injury. Whilst George is recovering he will be getting 15+ million for the next 3 more years.

Guaranteed 12 Million plus for the next 4 years is peace of mind.... forget about max for now and play for it when his next contract is up.

It's not the knee. Did you watch the video Kerssed posted? Just watch from 1:03-1:05

DAMN. that was some really messed up stuff. No matter what people think of PG you can't not feel extremely bad for him.

yeah. PG's very fortunate he has that contract currently, as he will probably never have anything close to that again.

Terrible injury for Paul George. Damn.

I love Sarver after that interview

Terrible injury. I feel bad for George. Hope it's "just" a break and no nerve or tendon problems. That's the best case scenario.

Wonder if the pacers go mini retool and think about trading west after losing pg and Stevenson.
