It's Indiana versus Miami, not on the hard court but in a trial court.

Daniela Rajic, a 24-year old ex-stripper from Miami, has filed a paternity suit against the Indiana Pacers basketball star in the Manhattan Family Court.

Rajic, who gave birth to a baby girl named Olivia last May 1, claims George is the father of her child. George has not denied paternity and has already visited the baby.

Rajic's filing seeks a court-ordered DNA test and legal declaration that George is the father of her child. A previous private paternity test has affirmed that result.

If Rajic wins her paternity suit, George will have to take a court-ordered paternity test.

Sources said George voluntarily paid for Rajic's medical bills, among other expenses. A person close to George denied rumors the NBA star offered $1 million to Rajic to have the baby aborted.

"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," a spokesperson for George said.

"The process has been amicable and we hope it will continue to be until this issue is clarified."

George and his ex-girlfriend Rajic met when she was dancing as a stripper in Florida.

Rajic worked at Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami when she met George. They dated for a few months before George broke up with her after she revealed she was pregnant.
