Paul George wants to return to the Indiana Pacers this season from his injury but is unsure due to the team's recent strong play.

"I'm on the fence," George said. "Part of me is, they're playing so well, they've come together, to shake up the chemistry and add another body, another player in there... I don't want to be that guy that destroys what these guys have going."

George said soreness after earlier practices is "minimal." He continues to take his return day by day.

"It's different if this was the beginning of the year and we were still trying to find our way," George said. "But these guys are playing at the top of their game right now and the last thing I want to do is slow them down."
