INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul George beat the odds to become an NBA star. Nike Roshe One Norge . Hell have to do it all over again to play next season. Two weeks after a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, George said Friday he remains hopeful that he can make it back onto the court late next season even though its a longshot. George called the injury a "freak accident." "All I can do at this point is sleep, watch TV and lay down, so its tough for me. Im used to being active, lifting weights, being in the gym," George said as his mother and father watched his news conference from a few feet away. "At the same time, I want to be part of this team. The last thing I want to do is feel like Im not part of this team because Im out. Im holding out hope, just personally, because I want to be back." George has thrived in the underdog role, going from mostly overlooked prep recruit to Fresno State star. He was impressive enough in college to catch the attention of Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird, who took him No. 10 overall in 2010. After his third season in the league, George was named the NBAs Most Improved Player. Hes led the Pacers in scoring, played in the All-Star Game and made the leagues all-defensive team each of the past two seasons. Paul was injured Aug. 1 during a U.S. national team scrimmage in Las Vegas when he his right leg collided with the basketball stanchion, snapping it in two. "When I looked down and saw bone sticking out, I knew it was bad," George said, later describing the feeling as having his leg lit on fire. "Id felt pain before, but I have never felt pain like that. So I knew it was bad." George said he has watched the replay once and wont watch it again. Doctors have told the 24-year-old star that he is likely to make a full recovery, though it will take a full year. Bird and coach Frank Vogel said earlier this week they did not plan to have George in 2014-15. George said he thinks he can change those plans -- if he can avoid risking another injury. George said doctors placed pins in his knee and ankle to stabilize a rod that was inserted into the injured leg, which was broken in two places. Three days later, he returned to his suburban Indianapolis home where is now recuperating in a cast and hobbling around on crutches. While no firm timetable has been set for his return, George said he could begin strengthening his right knee as early as next week. Thats little consolation to the workaholic. "This was going to be a huge year for me, so for me not to be out there at the beginning, I do feel a little guilty about that," George said. "It hurts." The immediate question that went through Georges mind was whether he did something wrong on the play. Some have questioned whether the NBAs highest-paid stars, such as George, should risk injury while representing their country or whether the stanchion was too close to the court. George didnt offer an opinion about the stanchion but did make one thing clear: He wants to play for the 2016 Olympic Team. "I think its real unfair, the criticism they are getting because it was a freak accident. No ones really been injured since USA Basketball has been here," George said. "It was a freak accident. Freak accidents happen." George thanked the national team, players around the league, those within the Pacers organizations and fans for their outpouring of support. A small contingent of Georges fan club waited outside Bankers Life Fieldhouse to catch a glimpse of him pulling into the arenas underground garage. A handful of teammates also showed up at the news conference. George recently received clearance from the NBA to change his number from 24 to 13, giving him the much more marketable moniker of PG-13. To do that, he splurged for about 600 of his own jerseys, which he donated to his high school and a local Boys & Girls Club near his hometown of Palmdale, California. Otherwise, hes not planning to change a thing. "I never play the game with any hesitation, thats probably why Im in this cast," George said, drawing laughter. "Im not looking at this as something negative for my career. Its something I can overcome and it will be a great opportunity to sit back and watch and learn the game." Nike Blazer Norge .ca.
