CHICAGO — It would’ve been considered a success story had Paul George simply returned to the NBA.
Frankly, it might have been viewed similarly had he accomplished much less than that.
But after appearing in his third All-Star Game in February and guiding the Indiana Pacers back to the playoffs, George will make his Olympic debut on August 6th vs. China.
George said he does his best not to think about the night in August of 2014 when he suffered his gruesome, career-altering compound leg fracture.
He doesn’t want to revisit that place where his career trajectory was threatened.
