It does not help that Joel Embiid has only played in 13 of the 34 games while Paul George has played in 24 of those games. It has been tough for the Sixers to build any type of ch

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.

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.

Paul George has been unable to find consistency as a shooter during his first season with the Sixers. A 5-for-18 line in Monday night's loss only made matters worse.

To Nurse's point, the Sixers were having a ton of success running the two-man game with Tyrese Maxey and Embiid. It was important for Philadelphia to run things on that end to a T meaning it was on Embiid and Maxey to lead the way. The Jazz tried to help, but they couldn't leave George too often.
