((HT: ESPN/USA Basketball))
It's very serious and just reminds us of the Joe Theismann injury...
It's difficult to see in real time, but if you think your stomach can take it in slower speed- it's about a minute after the incident happens in real time...
Coach K stopped the scrimmage after the injury out of respect- a wise move...
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo was asked about the injury after the game was called:
"This is a tough blow, not only for USA basketball but for the Indiana Pacers," he said. "And so as an organization we're just going to let a little time go by here before we address rosters ... it seems so unimportant in scheme of things. When you have something like this, it puts things in perspective."
Colangelo is right. It's a tough blow for the Pacers- bordering catastrophic for the upcoming season...
More when we know more...
PM UPDATE: ESPN's Brian Windhorst is making a good point about the stanchion under the left (as the TV camera shows it) basket and how it appears closer to the court than in a normal NBA contest.
The picture on his Twitter account makes a good argument.

Paul George Launches From Terre Haute... And Makes...
((HT: NBA TV))
There would be only two reasons the HQ would show this...
A make or a laughable miss...
He made the former from, about, 35-feet...
No, it wasn't a continuation from the conversation of last night's selfishness on the floor from the Pacers...
The play-by-play was right... the shot clock was down to two and hadn't reset...
Nice launch...

Pacer Fwd Paul George Buys All Tickets to Fresno St. Season Opener
((ht: thebusinessjournal.com))
Wow! Indiana Pacers all-star forward Paul George celebrated his new contract in rather spectacular fashion.
It appears Mr. George bought every single ticket to his alma mater's (Fresno St) season opener on November 16th.
That would be 15,695 tickets. Yes, 15,695....now free tickets to the public.

Bravo Mr. George. We don't know exactly how much money that adds up to, but we're pretty sure it's a lot.
George can afford the generosity. He just signed an $80 plus million dollar, 5-year contract extension with the Pacers.
And yes, that's a lot of money for anyone.
If you are unfamiliar with Paul George, he's one of the best NBA players you may not have heard of. Here's a brief highlight reel:

ICYMI: Great Game: Heat Barely Beat Pacers in OT
Yes, the NBA Playoff go on forever, but every once in awhile, the games can be absolutely fantastic to watch.
That was the case Wednesday night as the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers squared off in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat won 103-102 in Overtime.
The game went back and forth, close most of the way.
Paul George nearly won the game for the Pacers by himself.
He drained a long, 32-foot 3-point shot to tie the game at the end of regulation.
Here are his amazing highlights, including the 3-pointer and nearly winning the game with 2.2 seconds left in overtime. George finished with 27-points
But George was topped by the seemingly incomparable LeBron James. James had a triple double (30-pts, 10-rebounds, 10-assists) and scored when needed.
He was needed as his driving layup at the buzzer in overtime provided the difference, winning the game.
