Lewis broke into the Pacers forward’s Indianapolis home on April 28 after stealing more than $16,000 worth of items, including a diamond-studded NBA All-Star ring worth about $15,000, a $700 Flux watch, a pair of red Jordan 4 Toro athletic shoes and $20 cash.
George was in town during the robbery. He and the Pacers lost Game 5 of their first-round playoff against the Hawks that night.
