Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George is declining his $48.7M option and will enter free agency, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
George is planning to meet with teams that have enough salary cap space to potentially sign him and the Clippers beginning Sunday night, sources added.
By declining his player option, the opt-in-trade scenario for George will no longer be possible.
George, a nine-time All-Star, has spent the past five seasons with the Clippers -- averaging 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals over a total of 263 regular season games in Los Angeles.
