NBA Note - Oklahoma City Thunder George, Paul

Dec 14, 2017 - 9:33 AM F Paul George made his return to Indiana Wednesday after being traded to Oklahoma City in the offseason and scored 12 points on a 3-of-14 shooting. He was booed loudly when introduced and every time he touched the ball throughout the game.

George, a four-time All-Star, was traded to Oklahoma City in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis after he told the Pacers he didn't plan to re-sign with the team following the 2017-18 season. "I'm glad the circus is over with, now everybody can move on," George said. "I'm not sure what they (fans) wanted me to be, a circus act or some kind of show. I played my hardest. I played everything. I thought I took what the city is about and that's being blue collar."
