Paul George Already Practicing; Aims To Play 2nd Half Of 2014 Season (Video)

[Snitchin Splatter]

It was just back in July that Paul George suffered a horrific injury fracturing his tibia and fibia on national television as part of a Team USA scrimmage in Las Vegas.

He had surgery and was in a walking boot until a couple weeks ago, but as of Monday he is back on the court taking shots — and moving pretty well, as Scott Agness of Vigilantsports.com showed us. He’s not anywhere near coming back, but that’s a pretty impressive recovery so far.

It’s been assumed that Paul will miss the entire season for the Pacers, but he is pushing to get back sometime in the second half. It will be interesting to see how the Pacers deal with that — if they are well out of the playoffs in the East (as I and others expect they will be, they will have a bottom five offense in the league) why let him push it? The Pacers have their pick this season, why not get better lottery odds and come back next season with George and whoever that fresh young face will be? Why push an recovery to win some meaningless games at the end of the regular season?

But that’s not how George sees it — he wants to get back. And he’s clearly making progress.

the wonders of modern medicine do it again PG13 looking to make that Adrian Peterson recovery

why not?

he had a clean break with no ligament damage. There's nobody really who's had a comparable injury but if he heals up fast enough I have no problem with coming back early to knock the rust off no derrick rose

he's 24 no need to rush him back he will have next offseason + preseason to get ready and back.

No reason to come back. He can play another 10-12 seasons. He should take his time and get back to 100%

Nothing motivates a a young black athlete like looming child support payments

Yeah, they could use Towns, Okafor or especially Mudiay.
