Paul George made his return to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, and understandably, it was an emotional moment at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, adding fuel to a crucial game against the Miami Heat.

George, returning from a compound fracture to his right leg, has changed his number from 24 to 13 in his return. It didn't take long to get him involved. On the Pacers' second possession with George in the game, he utilized a Roy Hibbert screen and knocked down the off-balance J.

A few minutes later, George thought he had an open dunk, but alas.

All in due time, PG-13.
