OKC Thunder forward Paul George reveals frightening nerve condition ‘Dead Foot’

OKC Thunder small forward Paul George has dealt with copious injuries throughout his career. Most notably his right fibula compound fracture, he suffered in 2015 during a Team USA scrimmage in Las Vegas.

His other injuries include a right hip contusion, an orthoscopic left knee procedure, and bursitis of the elbow, that causes the bursa sac to fill with fluid, which must subsequently be drained.

Now PG is dealing with a condition called Peroneal Nerve Palsy (PNP) or as he referred to it ‘Dead Foot’. Although George and the Thunder downplayed the seriousness of his PNP, the condition can be rather serious.
