NBA star Paul George, 24, fractured his lower right leg during a USA Basketball scrimmage in Las Vegas on Friday, Aug. 1.
The injury occurred at the end of a fast break when George landed awkwardly and his leg collided into the basket stanchion.
George's gruesome injury is similar to the shearing leg fracture suffered by Louisville Cardinals' Kevin Ware during the 2013 NCAA basketball Tournament. The only difference being George's fractured bone did not protrude through his skin.
