Paul George "excited" by possible comeback against Miami Heat

Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George has revealed his excitement ahead of a possible comeback against the Miami Heat.

George has been out of action all season after breaking his right leg while training with the USA national team, but has now been declared available for the Pacers' clash with Erik Spoelstra's charges.

"The recovery has been a long process and this is another step in the process," said George, according to the NBA's official website.

"I thank everyone, my family, friends, doctors, our training staff, coaches, the entire Pacers' family for their support and encouragement. I'm excited, but at the same time I'm aware I'm still in a rehab stage and will continue to work to get back to full strength."

The Pacers currently find themselves with figures of 33-43 so far this campaign.
