Paul George: (Leg) Out 12-18 Months

George, who had successful surgery Friday to repair compound tibia and fibula fractures in his right leg, is expected to be out 12 to 18 months, NBA.com reports.

Analysis:

George likely will need six to 12 weeks to recover from surgery and another six to 10 weeks to get back to a normal walking gait. At that point, he can begin rehab. Returning for the start of the 2015-16 season seems to be best-case scenario.
