Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has received a vote of confidence from former Los Angeles Clippers teammate James Harden.

The Philadelphia 76ers face more struggles as Paul George suffers a knee injury, adding to their tough start to the 2024-25 season.

Paul George signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in the summer on a four-year, $212 million. The expectation was that he would team up with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid to finally turn the Sixers into Championship contenders.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has a bone bruise on his left knee and will miss two games, the team said.

Numbers like these show that the 76ers may have been better off keeping James Harden than paying up for Paul George.
