Coach K and Team USA have handled Paul George’s horrific injury, suffered during the team’s blue and white scrimmage a couple of weeks ago, with nothing but class and the team will continue to recognize their injured teammate throughout their FIBA tournament play by wearing shooting shirts in his honor.
“We’re going to be kind of united behind Paul George during these friendly games,” managing director Jerry Colangelo said Thursday. “We wanted to wear something on our uniforms, but FIBA will not allow anything on uniforms.”
Team USA will play their first game against an international opponent Saturday when they’ll face Brazil at the United Center.
