Paul George out for Thunder vs. Suns with Quad Injury Suffered vs. Rockets

Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George suffered a quad injury that will keep him out of action for at least one game.

Thunder head coach Billy Donovan announced George won't play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns because of a contusion on his right quad, per Erik Horne of The Oklahoman.

The injury occurred during Oklahoma City's 113-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day. George finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds in nearly 38 minutes.

George shocked a number of NBA fans and writers when he agreed to a four-year, $137 million extension with the Thunder shortly after free agency began this past summer.
