Paul George speaks after suffering leg contusion

Just a night after bruising his right leg in Indiana's hard-fought victory over the Pelicans, Paul George is day-to-day with a right leg contusion.

George left the game in the latter half of the third quarter, and did not return from the locker room afterward.

On Friday, George spoke to the media about the injury, and struck an optimistic tune about his recovery. You can see part of the video here:
