George struggled in his first season with the Sixers after signing a lucrative four-year, $211 million contract with the franchise last summer. The veteran averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists this season in 41 games while shooting 43.0% from the field, 35.8% from beyond the arc and 81.4% from the free-throw line.

George’s best basketball is behind him. He is 35 and has a history of lower-body injuries.

A nine-time All-Star, George has played for the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers and Sixers. He has career averages of 20.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

A California native, George will make $51,666,090 next season and $54,126,380 in 2026-27. He has a player option worth $56,586,670 for the 2027-28 season.
