A year after George’s injury, US set for another exhibition (Yahoo Sports)
Paul George’s broken leg in a USA Basketball exhibition game here last year shook up teammates and renewed the debate about whether NBA players should even be competing internationally in the offseason. USA Basketball’s contract with Las Vegas mandates some type of game, but the Americans would’ve played one anyway, even after George’s gruesome injury last year that sidelined him nearly all season. Whoever plays will be told not to go hard as George did.
