Indiana Pacers v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Two

Paul George traded to Thunder: All the latest on the Pacers’ stunning trade

Paul George informed the Pacers that he will not re-sign in 2018. So they sent him to the one place nobody expected: the Oklahoma City Thunder

This page will keep you updated on all the latest reaction and explain how we got to this point.
