Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Brooks thinks the reports of Paul George’s frustration with the team are overblown.
In an appearance Tuesday on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Brooks shot down the rumors of George’s supposed unrest.
"I don't listen to reports. He is our leader and we don't sense the frustration." –@Thirty2zero on media reports on @Yg_Trece's frustration

Whispers of the four-time All-Star’s discontent have dogged the team for seemingly the entire season, especially with them now hovering around .500 and in danger of falling out of the playoffs. The Pacers apparently gauging his value at the trade deadline didn’t help either, and neither did the time George spent venting to the media. But even if it seems like a very real possibility that George could jump ship for this West Coast team in 2018, Brooks, who is one of the oldest players on the roster at 32, doesn’t see it as a distraction, so the Pacers should be fine, at least for the time being.
