INDIANAPOLIS: Indiana Pacers’ forward Paul George has been diagnosed with a concussion after taking a knee to the head in an NBA play-off loss to Miami earlier this week..
The Pacers said yesterday that George will be evaluated according to the NBA’s concussion policy to determine when he can return to action.
Paul was cleared by team doctors to continue to play on Tuesday night after he collided with Heat star Dwyane Wade going for a loose ball in the fourth quarter of Miami’s 87-83 triumph.
However, after George told reporters after the game that he briefly “blacked out,” the Pacers were at pains to say they were taking the head injury seriously.
After the play, George exhibited no symptoms of a concussion and, in response to questions from the Pacers’ medical staff, he denied dizziness, nausea, and issues with his vision,” the team said in a statement. AFP
