Pacers guard Paul George suffered what appeared to be a serious right leg injury in Team USA's intra-squad scrimmage on Friday night.

The 24-year-old was going up to contest James Harden's layup in the fourth quarter.

Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski announced to the crowd that the scrimmage would be ending prematurely after George had been lifted off the court on a stretcher.

USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo: "We need to take a step back before we do anything at all. Our primary concern is Paul George."

Krzyzewski: "There's a brotherhood in the NBA and to me, at moments like this, a family, a brotherhood shows its heart, shows its depth."
