Pacers' Paul George: Expects to play Wednesday

Updating a previous report, George (illness) expects to be available for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

The Pacers initially indicated that George was doubtful after he dealt with a sore throat earlier this week, and despite showing improvement Wednesday morning, the team still ended up ruling him out. However, it seems he may have talked his way into playing, as he's now being regarded as available. With that said, it's not certain that George will start, and if he does play, his playing time will likely be restricted.
