George (calf) is still working his way back from the calf injury he suffered at the end of the season, Vigiliant Sports reports.

Analysis:

George left the Pacers' regular-season finale with a left calf strain, and he's still working his way back to full health. After sitting out the first 76 games of the regular season, he played in the final six games for the Pacers, averaging 8.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 1.5 three-pointers in 15 minutes per game. The leg fractures George suffered while playing with Team USA last summer shouldn't hindered his career moving forward, so when drafting George next season, it should be safe to treat him as if the injury had never happened and look to draft him in the first round.
