George starts practicing with Pacers Thursday


Pacers forward Paul George took the latest step in his recovery from a broken leg when he practiced with the Pacers on Thursday.

Paul was practicing with the first-team backcourt of George Hill and Solomon Hill. He has not played this season after suffering a compound fracture during a Team USA scrimmage in August. He has targeted mid-March to make his return to an NBA game.

Pacers coach Frank Vogel said there is no timetable on George's return and he still has a ways to go before being cleared to play in games.

"I'm hopeful [he plays this season], but a lot has to happen before then," he said.
