George Active vs. Magic
Monday, Nov. 14

Pacers Need George Healthy for Playoff Push
After a successful comeback season in 2015-16 following the gruesome leg injury he suffered in August 2014, George is off to another strong start this season. Indiana's All-Star forward is averaging 21.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field.
Unlike George, however, the Pacers are off to a slow start under head coach Nate McMillan, entering Monday's game with a 4-6 record that ranks last in the Central Division.
The Pacers have a solid rotation, with six players averaging at least 10 points per game, but everything begins with George.
