It’s been a strenuous 2024-25 campaign for Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George. Pairing him with the 2023 MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Tyrese Maxey has failed to meet expectations.

And now, there is an entire generation of basketball fans who know more about his latter years in the NBA than the […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers insist that they like the shots Paul George has been taking this season.

There are 85 NBA players who can’t be traded this season until Dec. 15.
