Paul George Expresses Health Optimism, Ready to Defer to Jayson Tatum in Boston

Paul George expressed optimism about his health and transition to the Boston Celtics, calling the move a "rebirth" and emphasizing his desire to support superstar Jayson Tatum. Coming off knee surgery that limited him to 17.3 points per game and 39.2% three-point shooting with Philadelphia, the 36-year-old nine-time All-Star stated it would be "unacceptable" not to play at least 50 to 60 games this season. George acknowledged fan reaction to the Jaylen Brown trade and aims to bring elite defense and playoff experience.
