Paul George spoke to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports yesterday at All-Star Weekend about possibly returning on March 14th vs. the Boston Celtics. PG also said there are two teams that would be perfect matchups for Indiana to play in the first round if they get in.

Here is Paul George’s full quote, from Yahoo! Sports:

“That would be ideal,” George said about playing Atlanta or Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs. “I think if that happens the story kind of writes itself. That would be ideal, especially if we go against Atlanta in the first round because we were the first seed last year. That’s a rematch they want for sure as well.”

The Pacers sit at 21-33 and are currently two games behind the Miami Heat for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Paul George also says he did not want to suit up the first day of March and is looking to ease his way in.
