Report: Paul George slapped with paternity suit ahead of Game 6

In something that may cause an unwanted distraction ahead of Friday night's Game 6 between his Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat, Paul George received some potentially uncomfortable news.

George has been slapped with a paternity suit by an ex-stripper who alleges that a daughter she gave birth to May 1 belongs to George, according to the New York Daily News. The former stripper, Daniela Rajic, reportedly filed the suit in Manhattan Family Court on Wednesday.

From the report:

George had not seen the complaint as of Thursday evening, but the 24-year-old is not denying that he is the father of the 4-week-old girl named Olivia, according to a source close to the All-Star.
...
Rajic’s Manhattan Supreme Court filing seeks a court-ordered DNA test and legal declaration that George is the dad. A private paternity test has already affirmed that result, according to sources, and George has voluntarily paid for Rajic’s medical bills, among other things. He has already met the baby, according to Felder.

A rep sharply denied rumors that George offered $1 million to Rajic to have the baby aborted. George signed a $90 million contract last summer.

It had previously been rumored that George fathered a child with Rajic, one whose responsibilities George's camp said "he will fully embrace" if the legal process confirms the child is his. 

George has had a rough go off the court all season, with reports of the pregnancy, bribes to keep it quiet, pictures of him surfacing online, reports of him being catfished and general turmoil around the Pacers. He'll need to put it all aside Friday night, however, or he'll have plenty of time to sort these matters out as his offseason begins.
