Pacers president Larry Bird expects George to like playing the position eventually, but will the two-time All-Star accept it?
Ten days later, the topic isn’t broached after Paul George scored 13 points in the first quarter and took the rest of Tuesday night off.
Not that the question has disappeared for the Indiana Pacers during NBA preseason. But this night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, George slid over to play small forward with C.J. Miles sidelined by illness.
That’s not the plan, as most are aware. Pacers president Larry Bird and head coach Frank Vogel intend to use their two-time All-Star at power forward.
