Paul George is not going to return to the Indiana Pacers this season. The two-time All-Star broke his right leg during a shoe-selling Team USA exhibition last August, the Pacers applied for and received an injured player exception soon after. Despite some initial encouraging signs the time frame just isn’t right for him to come back to a Pacer team that is currently 10 games out of .500 and a game and a half out of a playoff bracket that Indiana’s front office probably don’t want to leap into.
