Draymond Green Rebukes Paul George Over Podcast Hiatus, Removes Him From Top Three

Green’s on-air ranking excluded George over a podcast hiatus during knee rehab, a stance drawing scrutiny given Green’s prior pauses.

Overview

  • On his latest episode, Green named Club 520, All the Smoke, and Mind the Game as his top current player-hosted shows while placing his own program first after a new Audacy deal.
  • Green said George “can’t gracefully bow out,” arguing Podcast P no longer merits top-three status because George paused the show when the 76ers’ season turned difficult.
  • George has not recorded Podcast P since suffering a knee injury late last season and has not played this season for Philadelphia.
  • George previously said he stepped back to get his mind and body right with the goal of helping the 76ers contend for a championship.
  • Coverage noted Green halted his podcast after the 2022 Jordan Poole incident and again around his 2023 suspension, as reports indicate George is progressing toward a return.
