Sources: 76ers' George shut down for rest of year
Briefly

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to persistent groin and knee injuries, following consultations with medical professionals. His average performance of 16.2 points, along with injuries throughout the season, has hindered the team's expectations. George's absence comes on the heels of MVP Joel Embiid also being sidelined, signaling a disheartening end to a season that started with championship aspirations. Consequently, the focus may shift on improving the team's draft position moving forward.
I haven't been the healthiest, so it's just been putting a ton of work towards getting my body as healthy as possible, and to keep focus of obviously being here and trying to turn things around here and the full focus is trying to get this team together.
George has been battling multiple injuries over the past month, including groin, finger, and knee ailments, which ultimately led to his ruling out for the rest of the season.
With George now sidelined, and MVP Joel Embiid also ruled out for the season, the 76ers face a disappointing end to a season where they were expected to contend for the championship.
The 76ers, who began as title favorites, are now looking to improve their draft position after George joins Embiid on the sidelines, significantly impacting their season.
