George's shooting percentage (.406) and three-point percentage (.310) are the second lowest in his career. And in the last four games, he has posted percentages of 29.1% and 16.0%, respectively.

George then took 16 shots in Monday's win over the Spurs and scored 19 points. That is the production the Sixers are looking for from the 9-time All-Star. The focus on the offensive end will remain on Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, so Philadelphia will be looking to George to be more of a connector for this group at times.

After a four-day layoff last week, the Sixers have another string of three consecutive days off before their schedule intensifies again, with many wondering if 2024-25 has already become a lost season amid a devastating slew of injuries and consistently underwhelming performances.
