Paul George injury could cause NBA teams to object to FIBA play
By Mike Dyce
The basketball world has been reacting to the gruesome injury to Indiana Pacers superstar Paul George during a Team USA scrimmage on Friday night. His foot landed where the back board meets the court and snapped right in half.
The injury has reinforced the hesitance of teams to allow players to compete internationally, and according to ESPN’s Marc Stein, it could be the spark that gets NBA teams to voice their objections more frequently.
But there might not be a lot the NBA could do according to reports from Stein last night.
