Oklahoma City Thunder forward and 2018 free agent Paul George has been rumored to have interest in going home to Southern California to play for his hometown Los Angeles Lakers since he was a member of the Indiana Pacers, and that doesn’t appear set to change anytime soon.
George has recently said that his free-agency decision will center on what’s best for his family, but if he decides that means coming home to Los Angeles, it’s becoming increasingly clear (if it wasn’t already) he’d be welcomed with open arms.
During the Thunder’s 106-81 loss to the Lakers on Thursday, George was cheered by the Staples Center faithful during pregame introductions and throughout the night.
