The Indiana Pacers waited for Paul George. Now Paul George waits for the Pacers. George, Indiana’s talented, two-way star who has been remarkable in his recovery so far this season, is largely responsible for the switcheroo of subject and object in that first paragraph. George missed all but six games last season while rehabbing from the ghastly leg fractures he suffered in Team USA’s intrasquad scrimmage in August 2014. And while he was gone, well, things at Bankers Life Fieldhouse changed.

“I’m used to being in the playoffs. I’m used to going far in the playoffs. And I don’t want to experience not being in the playoffs. That’s my goal. That’s my challenge. To make sure we get back to that point” George said.
