Indiana Pacers star Paul George undergoes surgery after suffering a gruesome lower right leg injury playing for Team USA.

Indiana Pacers star Paul George has undergone surgery after suffering a bad leg injury during Team USA's intrasquad scrimmage, reports suggest.

George needed a pin placed in his leg after suffering a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula and is now expected to remain hospitalised for two to three days, according to the Indianapolis Star.

The 24-year-old landed awkwardly at the base of the basket stanchion after he fouled James Harden on a drive to the basket just 27 seconds into the fourth quarter.

His right leg was put in an air cast and, after being treated for 15 minutes on the court, he was taken to a Las Vegas hospital.
