Paul George was unable to participate in Saturday’s exhibition game between Team USA and Brazil, but he was still prominently featured.
When Anthony Davis, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, and company took the floor at United Center in Chicago, they did so wearing special shooting shirts which honored their injured teammate.
The shirts displayed the phrase “United We Stand” and George’s initials.
