With the trade deadline approaching, the Lakers have been linked to De’Aaron Fox, but the reality is far more complicated.
George, 34, has had an underwhelming debut season with the 76ers, averaging 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. George is set to miss his 16th game of the season, amid his worst statistical year in about a decade.
The 76ers are heading into the second leg of a back-to-back, as they handily beat the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Tuesday night. Star guard Tyrese Maxey dominated with 43 points with co-stars Paul George and Joel Embiid sidelined.
The Kings built a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but the Sixers were able to turn things around and were able to walk away with an impressive 117-104 win for their fourth straight. Tyrese Maxey had 30 points and eight assists to get the job done for Philadelphia on a night it had to dig deep in order to get the job done.
