Paul George DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, "some teams" around the NBA "expect the Sixers to be active in trade conversations" ahead of the 2025 Draft. Philly owns the No. 3 overall selection. However, the front office is rumored to dangle that pick in potential deals involving Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant or Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. Interestingly enough, a name mentioned in possible swaps with the aforementioned teams is Paul George. The 35-year-old signed a four-year, $212 million contract last offseason. Unfortunately, George struggled to stay healthy, logging only 41 games due to various ailments. He also took a step backward in terms of production, averaging 16.2 points, one of the worst marks of his career. It appears George isn't a lock to remain on the roster. Regardless, his days of playing at an All-Star level may be over, and his inability to stay on the floor makes him an even bigger risk for fantasy managers, no matter what uniform he's wearing in October.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin, knee) will not return to the court during the 2024-25 season. Sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania that George has been ruled out for the rest of the season after receiving injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday. This means that George finishes his debut campaign in Philadelphia with only 41 appearances. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes. George, who will turn 35 on May 2, signed a four-year max contract worth $212 million with the 76ers last summer. This has proven to be a terrible deal for the 76ers, who are on track to finish a season with fewer than 30 wins for the first time since 2016-17.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. George has missed four games in a row and is set to miss his fifth game. The injury report notes that George's absence is due to groin soreness, and the Philadelphia 76ers have not placed a timeline on George's return yet. George, who signed a four-year, $212 million max deal with the Philadelphia 76ers after five seasons with the LA Clippers, is averaging only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 41 games.
