Paul George To Change Jersey Number To 13

Last updated on Tuesday, August 12, 2014

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Pacers superstar Paul George will miss the entire 2014-2015 season following his devastating compound leg fracture, but when he returns he will reportedly do so in a new number.

ESPN is reporting the forward will change his digits from #24 to #13, which will give George the catchy nickname of "PG-13".

George originally wore number 24 because of Kobe Bryant, who himself changed to 24 from 8 in 2006.

George finished last season 15th in the NBA in jersey sales.
