Freak Injuries in Sports

Paul George suffers horrific compound leg fracture.

Paul George Suffers Horrific Compound Leg Fracture - Absolutely gruesome. Perhaps that's the best way to describe Paul George's compound leg fracture, which he suffered on a routine block attempt during a Team USA scrimmage Friday night in Las Vegas. The horrific injury created a firestorm of reaction and even triggered a George hospital visit from Floyd Mayweather Jr. The look-away moment immediately conjured some of the ugliest injuries in sports history. Unfortunately, George is far from being alone on this one. (Photo: John Locher/AP Photo)

Shaun Livingston - A picture is worth a thousand words...or in this case stomach churns. The sight of Shaun Livingston doubled over and writhing in pain after dislocating his knee back in 2007 remains one of the ugliest, freak sports injuries to date. It was nothing short of awesome to see Livingston work all the way back into becoming a solid contributor for the Brooklyn Nets last season, enough to up his value and land a deal with the Golden State Warriors last month.
