George is on pace for one of the worst offensive seasons of his 15-year career. Nick Nurse and Tyrese Maxey remain firmly in his corner.

It does not help that Joel Embiid has only played in 13 of the 34 games while Paul George has played in 24 of those games. It has been tough for the Sixers to build any type of ch

Joel Embiid and Paul George have been ruled out for the 76ers' matchup against the Wizards on the NBA injury report.

Which then brings up another issue with George: his lack of drives and shot attempts at the rim. Per Cleaning the Glass, George is only taking 16% of his shot attempts at the rim in 2024-25 which is the lowest number of his career.

Joel Embiid (left foot sprain) and Paul George (left groin tightness) are both OUT for tomorrow’s game against the Wizards. Kyle Lowry (right hip soreness) is out as well.

As the Sixers got back to work, the status of star big man Joel Embiid was the focus. The big fella missed Monday's loss to the Phoenix Suns due to a left foot sprain that one can assume he suffered on Christmas Day in Boston.
