Watch: Paul George takes shots after Pacers practice
Indiana Pacers forward Paul George was seen putting up shots after a team practice on Monday.
George, who suffered a compound tibia-fibula fracture during a Team USA intrasquad scrimmage in August, underwent surgery and is expected to miss the 2014-15 season, but he said at the team's media day earlier this month he hopes he can play at some point this season.
George also said he will probably travel with the Pacers on road trips later in the season.
