George will start at small forward Thursday against the Grizzlies with Jordan Hill starting at power forward, Nate Taylor of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

It remains to be seen whether this will be a permanent move for the Pacers, as George's presence at power forward greatly improves a generally weak frontcourt for Indiana. Still, it's an exciting development for George, as small forward is where he has enjoyed his greatest success throughout his career. George is going to produce regardless of where he plays if healthy, especially if he continues logging 35-plus minutes like he did Wednesday against the Raptors.
