After Paul George's agent told him he was getting traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, the six-time All-Star and his agent decided to have some fun with George's mom.

George and his agent pranked George's mom by saying he got traded to the Toronto Raptors instead of the Clippers.

“My agent being my agent, he decided to be a prankster, lets tell your mom like you got traded to Toronto,” George told Rachel Nichols of ESPN. “First thing my mom says, ‘Oh boy it's cold there.' Everybody on the phone breaks out laughing and then I jump on, ‘Mom, I'm coming home. I'm coming to the Clippers.' And she was just happy. She loves that she sees me a lot more. She goes to more games, it's a lot easier on her.”
