It was a scary scene during tonight's game between the Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies when Paul George needed to be carried off the court by three of his teammates after suffering a left leg injury. In just his sixth game back following an eight-month recovery from a broken right leg at the Team USA scrimmage, George's recent setback may have had people wondering if the team rushed him back too soon.

Luckily, it appears that George suffered a sore left calf which explains the stretching motion in Pacers star forward's left foot towards the latter moments of the above Vine.
Even though it's disappointing that the Pacers were unable to grab that No. 8 seed in this year's playoffs, George can now focus his attention on resting and working towards being 100 percent at the start of next season.
