Once the NBA season ends, players have different approaches to what they do next. Some go to their offseason home, some travel, and a few others stay around so their kid(s) can finish out the school year.
For Paul George, he chose the second option.

The face of the Pacers, who had a terrific first-round series against the Toronto Raptors, has made his way to Barcelona, Spain. On Wednesday, George shared the following photo on Instagram:

And then there’s this video from Wednesday night:
George appeared in 88 regular season and playoff games this past season, his first full year back from his compound leg fracture. He deserves some time away from basketball.
The 26-year-old is still undecided on whether he’ll commit to Team USA for the Rio Olympics.
Since being away, he has yet to comment on Larry Bird promoting Nate McMillan to head coach.
