When one looks at the career of Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George, one will see that he is a 9-time All-Star with career averages of 20.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists along with 44% from the floor and 38.

George is on pace for one of the worst offensive seasons of his 15-year career. Nick Nurse and Tyrese Maxey remain firmly in his corner.

Nurse has preached patience. George has experience dealing with a similar situation in Los Angeles, where he was teammates with the frequently unavailable Kawhi Leonard. Maxey, as is the point guard’s default, framed it in terms of what he can do to help get George going on any given night.
