compound (which you can't see from the gif) just means higher possibility for infection. That is terrible because you can in extreme case lose the leg. He will probably need a rod like kevin ware. I think the recovery depends on how clean the break is and the blood flow to his bone.
That's a very valid variable. Doctor said on ESPN that it was 9-12 month recovery. Hopefully he is back 100%
Couldn't bring myself to watch it. Thoughts and prayers to PG and family. Definitely will see changes coming in the future re: int'l competition and NBA participation.
Oh wow just saw this and I almost puked after watching the vine. I couldnt even watch the video. That is gruesome. Paul George is one of my favorite players and I really thought this was the year that he would make that transition into a superstar kinda like Harden did last year. This is so sad. Wish him a speedy recovery.
This injury isnt worse than a acl injury is it? It seems like you can come back after the year off 100%... Right??

Sure, bones heal much better than ligaments. People are just sad that a player of his caliber could lose so much time off his career. --------------- Also, shoutout to the rockets fan in that "wth" pic!
I understand this sentiment, but I just thought of another interesting point. Don't top college players stand much more to lose if they get hurt overseas? At least Team USA professional players have already made millions.
