NBA investigating allegations of Lakers tampering with Paul George

The NBA released a statement on Sunday saying that it was investigating alleged tampering violations by the Los Angeles Lakers in regard to Paul George.

According to a report from Peter Vescey, Indiana filed a formal complaint with the NBA claiming the Lakers had impermissible contact with George while he was still a member of the Pacers. Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson is reportedly at the center of the probe, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelbourne.

George was traded to the Thunder on June 30 for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo.
