George, 34, has been limited to 41 games for Philadelphia after signing a four-year, $212 million max free agent contract. Joining Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers were expected to challenge the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics for an Eastern Conference title and league championship.
However, George has averaged 16.2 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 36% on 3-pointers, among the lowest totals of his 15-year NBA career.
