The Pacers are actually holding up decently despite losing two key players — Lance Stephenson and Paul George — before this season. This is by Eastern Conference standards, however; they're one spot behind the eighth place, 30-37 Celtics.
But here's some potentially bad news for Boston fans: George is reportedly looking to returning to the court next week. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports that the comeback might come as early as tomorrow.
Pacers targeting Paul George's debut within the next week according to multiple sources. Could be as early as tomorrow but not decided yet

This follows the horrific broken leg he suffered during last summer's Team USA scrimmage. So George's return isn't just great for the Pacers; you gotta give him props for making such a comeback.
