Pacers' Paul George: Ruled out Friday

George (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets.

Analysis:

George was originally listed as probable for the contest, but was downgraded to questionable Friday afternoon. He has been dealing with nagging back and ankle issues, and appears to have suffered some sort of setback. He was able to play 38 minutes after returning from a three game absence on Wednesday, and may have pushed it a bit too much. With C.J. Miles also ruled out, Glenn Robinson figures to be in line for another spot start Friday.
