Still no timetable for return for Pacers' Paul George

Paul George might be close to playing shape.
He's still not there yet.
The Pacers two-time All-Star told reporters Monday that although he's eager to clear the final hurdle in his 7 1/2-month recovery from a broken right leg by returning to game action, he's not going to push himself to go too soon.
"We want to make sure I'm as close to 100 (percent) as possible," George said. "It's not coming down to you know, 'Paul's feeling good, let's get him out there.' It's about making sure everything's where I'm comfortable, where the medical staff is comfortable, where the front office is comfortable."
The temptation, of course, is to make it back now.

But it's unclear when fans should expect to see him suit up in his new No. 13 jersey.
"We've had conversations all year about many different (target) dates, and it all comes down to he's not going to play before he's ready and Larry (Bird) will make the final call on that," coach Frank Vogel said, referring to the Pacers president of basketball operations. "But the medical team is advising it, the coaching staff is watching how he's playing and we'll make a group decision."
