RIO DE JANEIRO -- Indiana Pacers star Paul George has two missions at the Rio Olympics: Win his first gold medal and lift the spirits of fallen French gymnast Samir Ait Said.Between his 15- and 20-point performances in the Americans first two basketball victories in these Olympics, George was watching on television when Ait Said suffered a gruesome leg injury reminiscent of the compound fracture George suffered in Las Vegas on Aug. 1, 2014, in a Team USA scrimmage.Following Team USAs 44-point victory Monday night over Venezuela, George repeated his vow to build a friendship with the gymnast and to use himself as an example of an athlete who can make a full recovery from such a catastrophic fall.At some point ?Im going to go over there and have a chat with him, sit down with him, try to be an inspiration to him, George said. I know what its like going through it. Hopefully any words I can give is useful for him.Attempts to set up a meeting Monday had to be postponed because of Team USAs game-day schedule, but George has been talking for days about the painful sight of Ait Said breaking his left leg after an awkward landing after two backward flips.It would be an easy story to tell, George said of the message he plans to give Ait Said. I came back stronger and better for it. For his case, hopefully hes more athletic and its a story that, as well as mine, can inspire as well.Its all about encouragement, keeping his head into it. I know for him its tough, an Olympian, a gymnast, their window is just as small as ours. Hes probably been training his whole life for this opportunity. I will definitely be in his corner for him.?When Said was initially injured, George posted a consoling message on Twitter.George missed all but six games of the 2014-15 season in the wake of his injury before returning with a real flourish last season, earning his third career All-Star selection, averaging 23.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists in leading the Pacers to the playoffs.Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys .

Winning two of three against Houston this weekend in a series at Globe Life Park in Arlington will all but actually clinch the division save for a very rare and unforeseen series of events. Texas would then have the luxury of resting key pieces and setting up its rotation for the divisional round of the AL playoffs.However, if the Astros, winners of 10 of their last 12 games, can take two or even sweep, the division might yet have some intrigue left.After Houston, the Rangers go on the road for four at Seattle, three against the Angels and three at Houston.Theres no doubt the next 10 days or so will be a challenge for us to get some separation from the guys behind us, Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre said. The one coming up with Houston will be important for us to create some separation so we can get some rest.Houston enters one game back in the AL wild-card standings. Theyll need to go 15-14 in their final 29 to match the 86-win plateau they hit in 2015 and will likely need to do that to have a chance at the wild card in 2016.The Astros first order of business is solving the Rangers riddle. Texas is 11-2 against Houston this year.But the schedule doesnt get any easier.After the Texas series are four games againnst Cleveland on the road and three with the Cubs at Minute Maid Park.ddddddddddddTrust me, Id love to rattle off a ton of wins and clinch a week in advance and set up your rotation and set up everything, but it doesnt seem like its going to play out that way for too many teams in the game, manager A.J. Hinch said. The scoreboard is right in front of us (in left field at Minute Maid Park), but the more you scoreboard watch, the more youre taking your attention away from beating the team thats on the field in front of you.In game one on Friday, the Astros will throw right-hander Doug Fister (12-9, 3.60 ERA) against Texas righty A.J. Griffin (6-3, 4.39).Fister has battled consistency in the second half, going 4-6 with a 4.09 ERA in 12 starts since June 26. He had success against the Rangers in his last start against them on Aug. 6, holding Texas to one run in six innings.Griffin, too, has struggled with consistency since coming off the DL in June. The right-hander has only one quality start since May 2, though it was in his last outing. Griffin threw six scoreless innings in a victory over Cleveland.Texas enters having won five straight and six of seven on its current 10-game homestand.The body of work speaks for itself, manager Jeff Banister said of Texas recent results. We need to play well. Houston is hot right now. We still have some work to do. We need to come back ready to play. ' ' '
