A nightmare of a season for Paul George is officially over after the Philadelphia 76ers declared their prized free agent acquisition out for the rest of the 2024-25 NBA season due to multiple injuries. He finishes the season having played in 41 games, meaning he’ll play in exactly half of a possible 82 games, and he last suited up on March 4.

The Sixers announced the news on Monday, referencing injuries to George’s thigh and knee. It had been reported that George was receiving painkilling injections all year, and the 76ers confirmed those procedures are the reasons he will be unable to play again in 2024-25.
