76ers Star Paul George Makes Major Announcement

As we approach the final stretch of the regular season, it's clear things have not played out how Paul George and the Philadelphia 76ers first expected. Following a chaotic start to this new chapter of his career, the former All-Star made a big announcement regarding his future.

While he continues his NBA career, George has begun paving a path for himself outside of basketball as well. Like many current and former players, the Sixers forward launched his own podcast. "Podcast P," a Wave Original, comes out weekly and discusses all topics in and around professional basketball.

On Monday's episode, George pulled back the curtain on the future of the show. After things has not gone as planned for the Sixers, he plans on stepping away for some time. PG is focusing on getting himself right physically and mentally while continuing to try and be a leader for his new team.

It's no secret this season is up to this point, man. It hasn't been what we envision. I know my goal when I first signed with Philadelphia was to bring a championship to these amazing fans here. I still remain positive about that and that is still the case and where I'm coming from. With that being said though, I want to let the podcast p family know that after today's episode with Dwight, I plan to take a break from the pod just to focus on getting my body right, getting mentally right and help this squad make a push towards our goal. To finish the season, I'll give ourselves a chance to be in contention to compete for a championship.
