Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is at the centre of an NBA probe into allegations of tampering.

The charges which were filed by the Indiana pacers, allege that Johnson….the Lakers president of basketball operations, had made a side-agreement with four-time all-star Paul George.

George who averaged 23.7 points last season had informed the Pacers of his plans to opt out of his contract in 2018 and sign a free-agent deal with the Lakers.

The Lakers have denied the allegations.
