Paul George named Best Comeback Player by NBPA

From a potentially career-threatening injury to starring on Team USA, Paul George's peers have deemed his comeback award-winning.

Exactly two years and three days since Paul George crashed into a basket stanchion and suffered an open tibia-fibula fracture which cost him 76 games during the 2014-15 season, the two-way star's determined resurgence into the upper echelons of the league's elite has caught the attention and earned the respect of his peers, who voted him the 2015-16 Best Comeback Player.
