The Pacers’ initial statement Saturday morning made it clear that they are focused on (forward Paul) George, not on why the injury happened or whether it could’ve been prevented.

“We still support USA Basketball and believe in the NBA’s goals of exposing our game, our teams and players worldwide. This is an extremely unfortunate injury that occurred on a highly-visible stage, but could also have occurred anytime, anywhere.”
