Paul Georgen nw

Floyd Mayweather paid a visit to injured basketball star Paul George in hospital after his horrific leg break while LeBron James also paid tribute to his fellow NBA player.

George was taking part in an inter-squad practice game when he sustained the shocking injury after landing awkwardly.

The 24-year-old leaped to contest a lay-up from James Harden in the fourth quarter, but when he came back down his right leg gave way.

He was then led out of the arena on a stretcher as the rest of the USA team watched on shocked at what they had seen.

George posted a picture on Instagram of Mayweather at his bed side, while LeBron James also took to Instagram to post a tribute to the Pacers player.

George was almost certain to make USA’s final 12-man team for the FIBA World Cup, which begins in Spain on August 30.

But the Pacers forward is now expected to miss a large part of the 2014-15 NBA campaign, which begins in October.
