Basketball player Paul George Injury

Paul Cliftonantho George is an American professional basketball player with the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association.

In tonight's Blue-White scrimmage as Team USA preps for the FIBA World Cup, Paul George broke his lower right leg. Be warned, the image is gruesome.

At the start of the fourth quarter, George chased down James Harden on a fast break, and as he landed, his right leg was caught under the basket stanchion, snapping his lower leg.

Here is a still image of the landing:

The stanchion on the court was two feet and two inches closer to the baseline than the ones used in NBA arenas. Games are hosted there regularly, including for the NBA's Summer League and D-League, but not typically with veteran NBA players used to more space under the basket. The inability to clear more space behind the baseline is apparently one reason the NBA doesn't play games in Las Vegas.

James Brady Dead at 73

James Scott Brady was an assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary under U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

Former White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was famously shot during the attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan's life in 1981, has died. He was 73.

 "James Brady touched the lives of many, many people and has been a wonderful husband, father, friend and role model," his family in a statement said. "We are enormously proud of Jim's remarkable accomplishments - before he was shot on the fateful day in 1981 while serving at the side of President Ronald Reagan and in the days, months and years that followed. Jim Brady's zest for life was apparent to all who knew him, and despite his injuries and the pain he endured every day, he used his humor, wit and charm to bring smiles to others and make the world a better place."

 Brady's serious wound meant that he was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.

 On Monday, Nancy Reagan recalled the "unspeakable fear" she shared with Brady's wife, Sarah, at the hospital after the assassination attempt, saying "the bond we established then was unlike any other."

In a statement, the former first lady also called Brady "the personification of courage and perseverance." For the remainder of his life, Brady became a leading voice for gun control. In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act into law.
