Seemed a little higher than that. Hopefully it's a clean break of the tibia/fibia and doesn't have other serious ligament damage. Just awful...
It's not like he died. He'll be back. No sense getting pennies on the dollar when he could return the same in a year or sooner.
Look at that roster... it's not good without PG... at all... David West on a player option next year, so is Roy Hibbert...
This is why NBA players should always go for as big a contract as soon as possible. You just never know when something like this will happen. Damn, I feel for the guy.

Don't know how well Harden play against PG, but if not for his unfortunate injury, he would committed a flagrant foul against JH
With a break like that there could be a significant amount of soft tissue damage. That was hard to watch. I hate it for PG, I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Wow looks like this now with the cuts: Guards: Rose, Curry, Lillard, Harden, Thompson, Irving Forwards: Durant, Faried, Hayward, Parsons, DeRozan, Korver Centers: Davis, Cousins, Plumlee, Drummond
Parsons might make it just because PG got injured. He's bad though and Hayward should make it over him
