Finally, it appears that the long awaited return of Paul George has finally arrived. Indiana Pacers expect their star Paul George to return to the team for the finality of the season and the upcoming playoff push.
There has been long debate about George and his possible return for a solid month now, once team President Larry Bird came out and said that he could see George coming back this season. There was a timetable put and then it was taken off but through the speculation and doubt, it appears that Paul George will be back for the Pacers sooner rather than later.
Pacers targeting Paul George's debut within the next week according to multiple sources. Could be as early as tomorrow but not decided yet

George coming back this upcoming week sets up just the perfect amount of time for him to get in some sort of a rhythm before the playoffs start. He probably won’t be injected right into the starting lineup and he will presumably be on a minutes restriction but if George gets back to old form, watch out.
The Pacers will most likely finish in the 8 seed. Actually, hopefully they do so they face off with the Atlanta Hawks. It would be a rematch of last year’s playoffs, when the Pacers were the 1 seed and the Hawks were the 8 seed. The tables have turned just one year later and now, we might see the 2 teams matchup once again.
