Pacers Are Reportedly Interested In Clippers Star

Presumably the hottest team in the NBA at the moment,

the Los Angeles Clippers are intent on sticking with their core group for the foreseeable future.

is anticipated to be the next in line for a significant contract extension,

which was recently granted to the star forward.

According to NBACentral, the Indiana Pacers are allegedly interested in pursuing George in free agency

if he is unable to get a new contract.

According to a Marc Stein article via NBACentral,

the Pacers were anticipated to make a major play for George should he become a free agent in the summer.

It seems, though, that he will receive an extension in Los Angeles.

After a quiet first two years, George spent his first seven seasons with the Pacers,

helping them transform into a competitive team and earning an All-Star selection in the 2012–13 season.

They advanced to the 2013 and 2014 Eastern Conference Finals,

where they presented a formidable opponent for LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

After being transferred to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2017,

George begged to be traded to the Clippers two years later in order to play with Leonard.

During that time, he forged a close bond with Russell Westbrook.

The Clippers, led by Leonard, have been the talk of the country’s media for the past few years.

After winning 17 of their last 21 games, many are once again putting them among the favourites to win the NBA title.

Nevertheless, despite all the support they have had since 2019,

they have only made one trip to the Western Conference Finals.

Given his past inconsistency in the postseason,

George will need to put together a lengthy run of outstanding games this spring if the Clippers are to overcome their current setback.
