In basketball news,
Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George suffered a horrific freak injury during a national team scrimmage in Las Vegas when his lower right fibula bone snapped.
The injury happened when George jumped in to contest a fast-break layup attempt by James Harden in the fourth quarter of an interteam scrimmage. His leg smashed against the bottom of the backboard stanchion and the bone gave way.
Head coach Mike Krzyzewski has to shave his 19-man squad down to just 12 before the start of the upcoming FIBA world cup, but said that's the last thing on his mind now.
