During the third quarter of his team's game against the Chicago Bulls last Saturday, Indiana Pacers‘ forward Paul George kicked the ball to let out his frustrations. And while he intended it to hit the stanchion, it went straight to the crowd and hit a woman in the face. His action got him an ejection from the game, but before heading to the locker room, he apologized to the woman first.

In an attempt to make sure she is alright and to apologize once again, the 26-year-old Fresno product sent the woman flowers with a note letting her know what happened during the game was not intentional.
A friend of the woman posted this online and was delighted with George's gesture and even called him a “class act.” The 6-foot-9 forward was not suspended for the incident and played on Monday during his team's loss against the Charlotte Hornets.
