Coach K meets with Paul George before his return (Photo)

After breaking his leg in a gruesome injury last August, Paul George made his return to the court Sunday and met before the game with his USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.

The last time anyone saw Paul George on a basketball court, was during the USA Basketball scrimmage back in August. During that game, George broke his leg in what was one of the most ugly injuries to happen on the hardwood.

The subsequent injury cost George most of the 2014-2015 season and the Indiana Pacers struggled without him.

With the Pacers on the verge of falling out of the playoff race, George made his emotional return to the lineup Sunday to a packed crowd showing their support.

One person in attendance to support George, was the last man to coach him before he got injured, USA Basketball coach and Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Krzyewski is in town of course for the Final Four, where his Blue Devils will face the Wisconsin Badgers on Monday for the NCAA Championship.

While George’s minutes are limited in his return, it’s great to see him back on the court and hopefully he can play the was before he got injured in August again.

Even better, was seeing one of his coaches there to support him.
