After Paul George’s gruesome leg injury nearly two months, the two-time all-star has made tremendous progress in his recovery.
Less than two months after sustaining a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, team doctors have cleared the Pacers’ two-time all-star to put weight on his injured leg and begin upper body work in the weight room.
Pacers head coach Frank Vogel is pleased with George’s progress to this point.
“He’s down to one crutch or no crutches,” coach Frank Vogel said Thursday at the team’s annual golf outing near Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “For the past three or four weeks, he’s been doing core work, upper body work in the weight room, and they want him to put weight on it.”
George is hopeful he’ll be able to return later this season, but it’s probably in his best interest to just sit the year out.
