Paul George se casse la jambe en deux lors d’un match du Team USA

Paul George ne jouera pas lors des Mondiaux de basket en Espagne. L’ailier américain des Indiana Pacers a été victime d’une grave blessure lors d’un match d’entrainement avec le Team USA.
Paul George s’est cassé la jambe en deux lors d’une phase défensive. L’ailier (en maillot bleu) qui revenait pour contrer James Harden, s’est coincé la jambe avec le pied du panneau. Ce qui provoqua une cassure avec l’élan du joueur.

Une terrible nouvelle pour le jeune joueur, qui devra être écarté des terrains pendant plusieurs mois. Une image horrible pour lui et ses coéquipiers venus le soutenir après cette blessure.

Les commentaires et soutiens pour George ont été nombreux sur Twitter :

Man..
