Overview
- George scored 35 points in a 120–117 defeat to the Hawks, his best performance since joining Philadelphia.
- He said offseason criticism calling him “washed” fueled his push to get healthy and prove he can still produce.
- After missing the first month, he returned on a managed plan and has recently logged three 20-plus point games in four outings.
- This season he is averaging more points in fewer minutes while shooting efficiently from the field, from three and at the line.
- He noted he is not yet at 100 percent, as the 14–11 Sixers count on his form alongside Tyrese Maxey for their playoff push.
