By now many people either saw or read about Paul George tragic lower leg injury during a Team USA scrimmage. This past season NBA All Star Paul George helped lead the Indiana Pacers to the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. Indiana would eventually lose for the 3rd straight season and 2nd straight Eastern Conference Finals series to the Miami Heat. Lance Stephenson left to join the Charlotte Hornets early on in free agency. Paul George hoped to represent his country during the World Cup of Basketball this summer and it all came to an end on that Friday night in Las Vegas. George was being George going for a chase down block on the break, however his leg landed on the backboard stanchion. The result was gruesome. Team USA obviously has replacements, more importantly where do the Indiana Pacers go from here ? Will George miss the entire 2014-15 NBA season or will he play at some point next year ? Only time will tell. However Indiana will miss his talent on offense and defense regardless of how long he will be out. Without George could Indiana go from the top of the Eastern Conference to near the bottom ?
