This past summer, the Indiana Pacers voiced concerns regarding potential tampering. NBA investigators looked through the communications between Paul George and Lakers’ associate head coach Brian Shaw. George recently spoke about the situation to ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth.
“It was a hassle that really shouldn’t have been made up to what it was. I understand the Pacers were mad about the situation, but there was nothing there. We are close, best friends, on that level, more than anything else. We were confident we were fine that nothing was going to come up.
