Report: Ex-Stripper Files Paternity Suit Against Paul George

(CBS) In the midst of the season's most important stretch, Pacers wing Paul George can't prevent the distractions from swirling around him.

Daniela Rajic, a former stripper, has filed a paternity petition charging that George is the father of her 4-week-old daughter, according to the New York Daily News. Rajic reportedly met George in Florida last summer, when they started a relationship.

The Daily News reported that a representative for George said, "As Paul has said all along, if and when the legal process confirms that the baby is his, he will fully embrace his responsibilities as a father and provide emotional and financial support to the child."

George has found himself in the center of plenty of off-court discussion this season. Private photos of him were leaked late in the season, and he was rumored to have been the victim of a catfish scheme.

The Pacers trail the Heat, 3-2, in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 6 is Friday in Miami.
