Paul George ready to play against Indiana Pacers

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Paul George knows the crowd at Bankers Life Fieldhouse well enough to expect a rude reception when he returns for the first time to play the Indiana Pacers, after spending seven seasons with them. After last season, George’s camp made it clear Indiana didn’t figure into his long-term plans, so the disappointed Pacers traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder. George says the boos will give him energy to play harder. The teams meet Wednesday in Indianapolis.
