Watch injured Pacer Paul George play one-on-one hoops with his dog

It's hard not to root for Paul George to come back from the frightening leg injury he sustained this summer. Lately, we've been getting good visual news on the recovery front.

On Monday we saw video of George shooting around after Indiana Pacers practice. Tuesday came an even cooler clip -- the above video, which is sure to be a hit with NBA fans and animal lovers alike. It's just ... awwwww.

Yep, that's George and his dog King, who couldn't stop the Pacer from nailing the jumper, but still played better D than James Harden (hahaha, oh man, that joke will never get old).
