Paul George, a six-time NBA All-Star and 2016 Olympic gold medalist, will be back on campus to have his No. 24 jersey retired during the Fresno State men's basketball regular season home opener at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10 regular season home opener.

"We are proud to honor Paul George for his exemplary contributions to the game of basketball, both while competing as a student-athlete at Fresno State and during his illustrious ongoing career in the NBA," said Fresno State Director of Athletics Terry Tumey.

"One of our goals as a department is to connect our rich tradition with our promising future by honoring the legends of our past appropriately. There will be more recognitions to come, as we have so many great former Bulldogs out there, but this particular opportunity is all about celebrating Paul George and his wonderful achievements."

George, a native of Palmdale, has become a bonafide NBA superstar after shining for two seasons at Fresno State before being drafted No. 10 overall in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. George spent his first seven seasons (2010-17) in the NBA with the Pacers, and then two seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder (2017-19) before becoming a member of the Los Angeles Clippers this summer.

"I am humbled by the honor of having my jersey retired by Fresno State," George said. "I loved my time there and am so appreciative of the staff and the fans and everyone in the Bulldog family that has been part of my basketball journey."

George will be celebrated during a halftime jersey retirement ceremony and Nov. 10 will be Paul George Day at the Save Mart Center. George is the second former Fresno State men's basketball student-athlete to be honored with a jersey retirement, joining former Bulldog coach and student-athlete Jerry Tarkanian, who had his No. 2 jersey retired on March 1, 2014.

A special four for $24 offer, which includes four Nov. 10 game tickets, is available online only through the Bulldog Ticket Office.
