Paul George Questionable for Clippers Matchup Amidst Injury Concerns and New Role with 76ers

Paul George (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers. After spending five injury-riddled years with the Clippers, George signed a four-year max contract with the 76ers, where he projects as the third option behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. With the Clippers, he averaged 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 33.3 minutes, but played only 263 total games, exceeding 56 games just once (74 last year). Entering his age-34 season, health remains a primary concern. Last season, he averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals in 56 games, providing top-20 fantasy value despite missing the fantasy and NBA playoffs due to a strained right knee. His career has seen him as an All-Star, All-NBA, and All-Defensive player, leading the league in steals in 2018-19. He has demonstrated high-level production as a two-way wing, including a 29.6 point, 11.0 rebound, 5.6 assist, 1.4 steal playoff run in 2021.
