Paul George underwent surgery following his lower right leg fracture during the United States' intrasquad scrimmage at UNLV.
In a statement released after surgery was completed, USA Basketball confirmed George suffered an open tibia-fibula fracture and is expected to remain hospitalized for about three days.
Sources close to the situation told ESPN that while there was no additional damage besides the fractures, doctors believe George likely will miss all of next season, though no official prognosis has been given.
George was injured trying to block a shot from James Harden when his leg landed and then buckled at the base of the basket stanchion.
His right leg was put in an air cast, and he was taken to a Las Vegas hospital after being treated for about 15 minutes on the court.
