George has received joint surgery or is reimbursed again, and the 6th annual salary of the league is 76 people become the biggest sucker

On July 15, according to NBA reporter Shams, 76ers core player Paul George suffered a knee injury during training and will undergo left knee arthroscopy surgery and undergo re-evaluation before training camp begins next season. This is very bad news for the Philadelphia 76ers. In April this year, the star Embiid also underwent left knee arthroscopy surgery and his condition is average when he comes back. Now George is injured again, it is really uncomfortable.

George, 35, was already in a state of decline. With this knee surgery, he probably didn't know how much he could recover after he came back. Morey, general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, who has always been famous for his savvy calculations, did not expect that he would always fall into George's hands. In 2024, the Philadelphia 76ers pledged George from the Clippers with a four-year, $212 million contract, and their attendance rate was not high in one season in Philadelphia.

In the 2024-25 season, George only played 41 regular season games, and then received injections from left adductor muscle and left knee, and announced his season reimbursement. According to statistics, George has played in less than 60 games in the past six seasons in five seasons. George's attendance rate has to worry the Philadelphia 76ers management. After all, he still has a three-year, $162 million contract, with an average annual salary of $54 million. Originally, George was stolen to take revenge on the Clippers and pried Harden away, but unexpectedly, the Philadelphia 76ers fell here.

George averaged 32.5 minutes per game last season, scoring 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals, shooting percentage of 43% and three-point shooting percentage of 35.8%. With George's performance like this, it is hard to imagine that he ranks sixth in the NBA's annual salary and is ranked 60th in the league in scoring average. The Philadelphia 76ers have really become the biggest sucker, and the key may be that he will have to be suspended for a long time.
