Los Angeles Clippers superstar small forward Paul George made his third return to Indiana on Monday to face the Pacers. George spent the first seven years of his playing career with the Pacers.
Indiana traded George to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the summer of 2017 after the swingman told the Pacers he wasn’t going to re-sign with them when he became a free agent in 2018.
George was booed very loudly when he made his first return to Indy. On Monday, PG heard those same boos again:

In his first season with the Clippers, George has been stellar. He's averaging 23.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from beyond the arc and 93.0 percent from the free-throw line.
The Clippers entered Monday with a record of 17-7. They are in second place in the Western Conference standings. The Los Angeles Lakers are in first place.
Monday is the only time George will play in Indiana. The Clippers star will have one more return game this season when the Clippers take on the Thunder in OKC on Dec. 22. It's unknown if George will get booed by Thunder fans.
In 448 games with the Pacers, George averaged 18.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. He made the All-Star team four times.
