Paul George left Saturday’s game against the Bulls early after an incident involving a fan.
During the third quarter, George appeared to be frustrated at a foul call and kicked the bouncing basketball towards the stanchion. However, the ball did not hit the basket support and instead hit a young woman. George immediately went over to apologize and gave the woman a hug.
George was ejected from the game for what appears to be the first time in his seven-year career.
Will look into it further, but @PacersDMB informs me tonight is probably Paul George's 1st ejection of his career.

After the game, George confirmed he was attempting to kick the ball into the stanchion, but joked his soccer skills let him down.

It will be interesting to see what disciplinary action the league takes, if it chooses to at all.
