CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose still remembers the vibe in the Thomas and Mack Center on the night of Aug, 1, 2014. In a more intense than usual scrimmage between players looking to represent Team USA in the 2014 World Cup of Basketball, Indiana Pacers star Paul George went down iin the fourth quarter with a gruesome leg injury.
"Very emotional," Rose said after Thursday's practice. "You felt it from the players, the coaches and just the feeling of the crowd. The crowd felt it. And afterwards you could just tell that everybody was concerned about him.
