Paul George still trying to get in shape for comeback

Paul George is putting this weekend's comeback plan on ice. The concept of returning later this season is still heating up.

Indiana's two-time All-Star told reporters Friday he's much closer to playing now than when he returned to full practices two weeks ago, his most strenuous work since running into a basket stanchion and gruesomely snapping his right leg in two places Aug. 1 in Las Vegas.

"The Paul George today blows away the Paul George from then," he said. "The reason the Paul George now would blow out the Paul George of two or three weeks ago is because I can move a lot better."
