Paul George Return and LeBron Shows Some Love

As the Cleveland Cavaliers got their 50th win of the season clinching the second seed in the Eastern Conference, players were in the locker room chatting with reporters. While the Cavaliers were chatting with reporters, Indiana Pacers' Small Forward Paul George was lacing up some Kobe 10's for his first game of the season. As we know Paul George suffered a gruesome leg breaking injury during an Team USA scrimmage of the summer of 2014. The injury cause George to miss the playing with Team USA who won gold last summer, and caused him to miss the 76 games of the season. George had a standing ovation as he checked into the game for the first time this season. During his return George played 15 minute and scored 13 points. It is also his first time debuting his new jersey number 13. It will be a pretty sick nickname jersey to have "PG 13." I think it was ironic that PG 13 scored 13 points in his debut. ------- LeBron gave George a shout out on twitter saying, " Absolutely great day for my Nike Brother and homie @yg_trece! Congrats man on the journey all the way..." LeBron and George had some great and historic battles in the Playoffs when LeBron was with the Heat. There is clear respect for both players though, will always be deep and mad respect between both player no matter which team they play for. I was definitely great to see the Pacer star to return from an injury that touched a lot of players who watched George go down with the injury. If you watched the scrimmage, I bet you can remember how devastated the players on Team USA were. They had to stop the rest of the game because players were so shocked. This injury was more than likely the reason Kevin Durant resigned playing with Team USA last summer. Now hopefully the Indiana Pacers can reach and fight for that 8th spot in the Eastern Conference.
