Los Angeles Lakers release statement on tampering charges

Los Angeles Lakers management is going to have some questions to answer in the coming days. The Indiana Pacers have filed tampering charges against the Lakers. Impermissible contact with former Pacer, Paul George, is what will be looked at.

Possible tampering with George is what will be looked into. President of Basketball operations, Magic Johnson, is in the middle of the investigation. General manager Rob Pelinka and Jeannie Buss will also be questioned and asked to turn over any correspondence including George.

The news was first broken by longtime reporter Peter Vecsey.
