Pacers’ Paul George Looking at Mid-March Return

Indiana Pacers guard Paul George told Yahoo Sports he is eyeing a mid-March return that could be as early as the team’s March 14 game against the Boston Celtics.

“March 1 isn’t when I wanted to play my first game, but when I wanted to be full-out practicing, doing up-and-down full court without any restrictions or limitations,” George told Yahoo Sports. “From there on, it’s seeing how far I can progress to where I play my first game. My hope is it’s an opponent where I feel comfortable coming back to where there isn’t too much pressure to perform, where I can ease my way back in. But I want to say around mid-March, I could probably come back around that time.”
