Paul George Progressing; Doing Weight Work

Paul George is getting back on his feet.

Less than two months after sustaining a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, team doctors have cleared the Pacers’ two-time All-Star to put weight on his injured leg and begin upper body work in the weight room.

”He’s down to one crutch or no crutches,” coach Frank Vogel said Thursday at the team’s annual golf outing near Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ”For the past three or four weeks, he’s been doing core work, upper body work in the weight room, and they want him to put weight on it.”
