Nurse has preached patience. George has experience dealing with a similar situation in Los Angeles, where he was teammates with the frequently unavailable Kawhi Leonard. Maxey, as is the point guard’s default, framed it in terms of what he can do to help get George going on any given night.

Paul George has been unable to find consistency as a shooter during his first season with the Sixers. A 5-for-18 line in Monday night's loss only made matters worse.

Which then brings up another issue with George: his lack of drives and shot attempts at the rim. Per Cleaning the Glass, George is only taking 16% of his shot attempts at the rim in 2024-25 which is the lowest number of his career. One has to wonder if George is still finding his niche or if the knee is bothering him and limiting him a bit.

The Sixers’ first home game since Dec. 23 sure did not go as they’d hoped. The team suffered a 109-99 loss to the Suns on Monday night, falling to 14-20 this season. Tyrese Maxey posted 31 points and 10 assists.
