VIDEO: Paul George back to shooting jumpers

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports

Indiana Pacers forward Paul George continues to showcase his inspiring resolve as he slowly works his way back from a devastating leg injury. 

He was back in the gym working out as soon as he was cleared to put weight on his leg. Now, after ditching his walking boot and crutches, he's back on the court working on his jumper. 

On Pacers Media Day at the beginning of the month, George said he thought he'd be able to play again this season. It seemed like a long shot then, and by all accounts it still is - especially if the Pacers fall out of the playoff hunt. 

But the drive and unshakable optimism George has shown during this trying time has spoken volumes about his character.
