As he continues to recover from surgery after suffering a horrific open tibia-fibula fracture, Paul George is receiving no shortage of visitors in the hospital where he's staying.

Floyd Mayweather rolled through for a visit on Saturday, and around the same time, Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski stopped by to check in on the player who many expected Coach K to start at the upcoming FIBA World Cup.

When George suffered the gruesome injury during the fourth quarter of Team USA's scrimmage on Friday, Krzyzewski immediately announced that the rest of the game would be cancelled, telling the crowd: "in respect to Paul and his family, the scrimmage is done and we want to thank you for your support."
