When PBT sat down with Paul George All-Star Weekend, he said he planned to practice with the team soon.
“I want to (play this season),” George said at the time. “March 1st was the date I wanted to be able to full on practice without limitations or restrictions, and from there see where things go. But mid-March is ideally where I want to be able to make a comeback and play my first game.”
He beat that first timetable — Paul George returned to practice with the Pacers Thursday (Feb. 26).
Vogel says Paul George is cleared to practice, not play. "He's just been doing a little more and more... Today was his first full practice."

Vogel: "No timetable for his return. He's got a long way to go before he gets cleared to play."

George told PBT he’d been working on his ball-handling and jump shooting, and that both of those should be improved.
We’ll see when he takes the court. A lot of people were targeting March 14 against Boston, but if he beat the first timetable...
