Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George faced the LA Clippers at Intuit Dome for the first time on Wednesday night. Leaving the Clippers in free agency this offseason, George joined Philadelphia on a four-year, $212M contract.

Because of how his tenure played out in Los Angeles, and some of the comments he made on his Podcast P show after departing, it was not surprising when George was booed by Clippers fans on Wednesday night.

As for George himself, he didn’t quite understand it.

“I mean it’s stupid,” George said. “I was a free agent. It wasn’t something that I demanded a trade or went against the team... There were cheers. I appreciate them. Those were the ones I played hard for. The boos, I didn’t get it.”
