This was expected but the 76ers, looking to avoid a fine like Utah was hit with for violating league rules, made it official.

George has sat out the last six games while consulting with doctors on treatment options for his ailments. Now his first season with the Sixers is finished after he played in just 41 games.

Paul George, who has not played since March 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, will now be ruled out for the rest of the season. He will finish his first season in Philadelphia with averages of 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while shooting 43% from the floor and 35.8% from deep in just 41 games.
