Paul George: 'It's been tough following leg break'

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Paul George has admitted that he has at times found it tough as he looks to make a comeback from a broken leg.

The All-Star player picked up the injury while on duty with the USA national team, but now hopes to get some minutes under his belt during the remaining games of the season prior to summer training.

"It's been tough. There were days when I told myself I wanted to shut it down and get ready for the summer," said George, according to the NBA's official website.

"But it's great having the staff that we have here to push me here and keep my going.

"I've had days when I'm sure they hated me. And I hated them. But we got through it and they did a great job with being in my corner."

George is expected to feature at some point during Indiana's clash with the Miami Heat.
