Now the Indiana Pacers forward himself is finally opening up about that traumatic event for the first time.
The website Bleacher Report has been shadowing George over the past several months, chronicling his arduous journey from injury, to rehab, to hopefully back where he belongs amongst the NBA's elite. In the first installment of the series, George opens up about his recollection of the injury as it happened.
