After Shattering Leg in August 2014, Paul George Returns to NBA Action vs. Miami

After breaking his leg in August 2014 — what was one of the most gruesome injuries ever seen in Sports, Paul George made his much-anticipated return to the Indiana Pacers lineup this evening vs. the Miami Heat.

Only ~8 months into his recovery, this is a pretty unbelievable moment that doesn’t need many words to describe how awesome it is. A true/real-life testament of hard work, will-power, and determination paying off. If Paul George can so much as walk again, let alone play basketball at a professional level after that horrible injury — anything is possible.

Unfortunately, George is a little rusty…and blew a wide-open layup, as soon as he entered the game.

Can you blame him? Nerves gotta be eating him up right now — not just because he’s back in front of tens of thousands of people playing basketball again, but, the possibility of re-injuring his recently-healed leg … jeez.
