Jimmy Butler and Gordon Hayward will have to wait until 2018 to return to their old stomping grounds, but Paul George will see the Pacers before Christmas.
The NBA released its schedule Monday, and the ESPN and ABC television schedules include Butler's return to Chicago, Hayward's reunion with Utah and George's first trip to Indiana after all three stars moved during the offseason.
George was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder after he made it clear that he would not re-sign with the Pacers when he becomes a free agent next summer.
