The nine-time All-Star is already hurt at the start of the 2024-25 regular season.
Nine-time All-Star combo forward Paul George was the marquee free agent addition for the Philadelphia 76ers this summer. His addition helped form a new 'Big Three' in the Eastern Conference, as he's slated to suit up alongside All-Star now-teammates Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.But he has yet to make his regular season for the club, as the oft-injured 34-year-old is already hurt to kick off the 2024-25 season.
Without Embiid or George, the Sixers were easy targets for the Milwaukee Bucks in their season opener on Wednesday night, falling 124-109.Maxey led the way, scoring a deeply inefficient 25 points on 10-of-31 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 shooting from the foul line, while also grabbing six rebounds, passing for three assists, swiping a steal and blocking one shot. Several of the Sixers' other newly signed free agent additions also had solid first nights with the team.
