Paul George Officially Ruled Out for Season After Injury-Plagued Year

The 76ers forward underwent injections for groin and knee injuries, ending a disappointing debut season with the team.

Paul George has been shut down for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season following injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee.
The 34-year-old forward played only 41 games this season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists—some of the lowest stats of his career.
George signed a four-year, $212 million contract with the 76ers in July 2024, but injuries have significantly hindered his performance and availability.
The 76ers, sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference and five games out of the play-in tournament, are likely to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
Philadelphia's struggles this season, compounded by injuries to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, may help the team retain its top-six protected first-round draft pick.
