Paul George says his broken right leg is feeling better and that his playing time could increase if the Pacers make the playoffs.
The Pacers have won five straight and are 4-0 since George returned from his broken leg on April 5. He has been limited to about 15 minutes per game. Coach Frank Vogel says George's playing time would likely increase to about 20 minutes in the playoffs and might already be increasing if the Pacers weren't playing three times in a four-day stretch.
The two-time All-Star spoke with reporters following Monday's practice. Indiana is tied with Brooklyn for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East with two games left. The Nets hold the tiebreaker because they went 2-1 against Indiana during the regular season.
