Dec 22, 2024 12:14 am: George amassed 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: George was initially deemed questionable to play in this contest before being upgraded to available, but the veteran forward didn't perform even remotely close to his best. The Sixers needed a better performance out of their star forward, particularly since Joel Embiid (knee) was out and Tyrese Maxey was largely inefficient despite scoring a team-high 27 points, but that wasn't the case. Perhaps the lone positive aspect is that George played on both legs of a back-to-back set for the first time this season. George, however, shot a combined 6-for-24 in this back-to-back set.
