The Pacers are covered for Paul George's injury. If he misses a full season, they would get back $6.3M of the $15.8M they pay him.

Darren Rovell tweeted that out about an hour after Paul George’s nasty leg injury. While important, the timing is bad. This goes to par for what Rovell is about. He doesn’t value people as people, rather they are assets to a company.
Tweet this tomorrow, maybe different reaction. Or maybe after official diagnosis or even after George gets a chance to address the public. Nope. He’s just heartless.
@darrenrovell prepare to get blasted for this tweet

@darrenrovell YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE.

Poor taste MT @darrenrovell Pacers covered for Paul George's injury. If he misses full season, they get back $6.3M of $15.8M they pay him.

@darrenrovell Really Rovell? While I understand the logic, you should be more mindful

@darrenrovell I normally don't understand the hostility & tend to appreciate your tweets, but this one crossed a line. You HAD to know that.

But at the end of the day... 
Wow, he didn’t die. He’ll get paid millions to sit on the couch and watch Game of Thrones. We should all be so unlucky.
