INDIANAPOLIS - Paul George is getting back on his feet. Vapormax Plus Fausse .Less than two months after sustaining a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, team doctors have cleared the Pacers two-time All-Star to put weight on his injured leg and begin upper body work in the weight room.Hes down to one crutch or no crutches, coach Frank Vogel said Thursday at the teams annual golf outing near Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For the past three or four weeks, hes been doing core work, upper body work in the weight room, and they want him to put weight on it.Thats good news for George, who still hopes to beat the odds and return to the team later this season. Team doctors have told George while its likely hell make a full recovery, it may take 12 months.He was injured during a U.S. national team scrimmage Aug. 1 in Las Vegas when his leg snapped after colliding with a basketball stanchion. George told reporters last month that doctors placed pins in his knee and ankle to stabilize a rod that was inserted into the injured leg, which was broken in two places but did not damage any ligaments, tendons, joints or nerves. Three days later, he returned to his suburban Indianapolis home.Over the past several weeks, Georges workload has been ramping up. He could soon become more involved with his teammates -- many of whom have been working out in Indianapolis before training camp opens Tuesday. Some have seen or spoken with George regularly.Hes doing great, said free-agent signee C.J. Miles, who will help fill the scoring void. Hes in there every day lifting. It just shows his character and who he is, a guy who will do whatever he can to help his team win.Vogel knows having George around will provide inspiration for the team, and other players such as All-Star centre Roy Hibbert, power forward David West and point guard George Hill will be motivated to disprove those predicting gloom for the two-time Eastern Conference runner-ups in Georges absence.Vogel believes his 24-year-old star can provide help from the bench.Ive given him a clipboard to chart deflections and contested shots. We cant just let him sit around, Vogel said. Any time you have an opportunity to observe the game or your team or your system, I think it helps you grow your understanding of everything.It could help turn George into an even better player when he returns. After this tumultuous off-season, theres plenty George can learn.Hes missing friend and teammate Lance Stephenson, who signed with Charlotte in free agency; been involved in a paternity hearing and made the headlines this month after using his Twitter account to opine about former NFL star Ray Rice and domestic violence.George later deleted the offensive tweets and posted an apology, saying he didnt intend to downplay the situation.Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird responded a few hours after Georges initial posts with a statement that called the comments thoughtless and without regard to the subject of domestic violence and its seriousness in society.George also issued a second apology, and Vogel said team officials have spoken with George about using social media.Larry talked to him a lot about it and Ive talked to him a little about it, said Vogel, without elaborating.The immediate concern is making sure George gets healthy -- and figuring out how to replace Indianas best all-around player. George averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season, earning his first All-Star start and a first-team selection on the NBAs all-defensive team.While the Pacers did receive a disabled player exemption, it didnt give the Pacers any salary cap relief and Bird has repeatedly said he wont go over the luxury-tax threshold.That means the roster is pretty much set. But Vogel isnt fretting.I think this has been my approach every year, whether youre a front-runner or an underdog, Vogel said. We have everything we need to compete at the highest level.

Although DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have shown no sign of wearing down, each logging more playing time than they have previously in their careers, Casey would like to keep them as fresh as possible for the stretch run, something that may be easier said than done. Sitting 9 1/2 games ahead of ninth-place Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings, Toronto - the Easts third seed - is poised to make its first postseason appearance in six years. With that comes another rarity for the franchise, playing meaningful games in March and April. The challenge for Casey and the Raptors coaching staff will be in managing the rotation, loosening it enough to give the guards a breathier - together or separately - without sacrificing important games. "Thats the hard thing," Casey acknowledged following Wednesdays practice. "Weve got to buy them a few minutes here and there but every possession - not only every game, every quarter [but] every possession - is meaningful." "When you start looking at scoring, we hit a drought the other night against Golden State right before the fourth quarter but we were just trying to buy minutes for those guys off the floor. Its a catch-22." DeRozan is fourth in the league, averaging just over 38 minutes per game, behind only Carmelo Anthony, James Harden and Kevin Durant while Lowry is 14th, logging roughly 36 a night. Amongst NBA duos, only Houstons pair of Harden and Chandler Parsons as well as Golden States Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson play more. In February, DeRozan played over 40 minutes a night, with Lowry nearly hitting 38. Since the early-December trade, Casey has been rolling out a strict nine-man rotation, using primarily Greivis Vasquez and John Salmons to spell Lowry, DeRozan and Terrence Ross. Getting reliable contribution from his reserves and piecing together the right combinations will bee essential for the Raptors coach to expand the rotation enough to buy his backcourt duo more downtime on the bench.

The versatile guard has played just eight minutes since being acquired from the Spurs in a deadline day trade two weeks ago. Although Casey has had trouble pinpointing where exactly De Colo fits in his lineup, he anticipates using the 26-year-old as a secondary ball handler, likely at the two or three position. "Weve got to make sure we have the right combinations on the court, that way we dont sacrifice scoring, but he knows how to play, he has a feel for the game," Casey said of De Colo. "You cant really put your finger on his position or what he is, a two, a three or a point [guard], but hes a basketball player. He just knows how to play." The Raptors got back to work Wednesday after taking a couple days off to satisfy a league mandate. "I thought we had decent focus," Casey said, "the usual first day back to school-type start, but I thought once guys got into it we ramped the intensity a little bit. "There was no resistance as far as the drills were concerned whatsoever, so I could sense they were anxious to get back. As a coach you dont want to lose that rhythm, thats the biggest fear. I didnt sense any of that today." While Jonas Valanciunas used the time off to get away from the game, spending the day ice fishing on Lake Simcoe (he returned home empty handed, without a fish), Terrence Ross took advantage of a rare mid-season opportunity for rest. Ross has been nursing a sprained left ankle, keeping him out of Sundays win over Golden State, but was able to practice in full Wednesday. "It happened at the best time," said Ross, who expects to be in uniform when the Raptors host Sacramento on Friday. "I got a few days off to stay off it and rest. Im feeling back to normal. Ive still got to do treatment on it but right now it feels good." ' ' '
