Report: Pacers aiming to have Paul George return within one week
The Indiana Pacers are aiming to have guard Paul George make his season debut within a week, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Windhorst reported that George's debut could be as early as Saturday, but that the team hasn't made a decision yet. On Saturday, Pacers coach Frank Vogel told reporters there is no timetable for George's return yet.
George broke his right leg last August during a Team USA mini-camp scrimmage while preparing for the World Cup of Basketball and has not played this season.
