But those around the NBA aren’t alone in hoping for a speedy recover by George. Members of the Indianapolis Colts, such as at Pat McAfee, Reggie Wayne, Chuck Pagano and Robert Mathis, sent George a get-well message during training camp on Saturday.
It’s obviously a classy move from the Colts to do this during what is surely a dark time for George.
The Pacers forward averaged 21.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in 2013-14.
