Paul George pushed back against “washed” talk after the Sixers’ loss to Atlanta, citing his efficiency and All-Star form.

Paul George heard the chatter. Given his age – he turned 35 in May – such claims were understandable, but George’s goal this season was to prove that they were unfounded. George is averaging more points this season despite playing fewer minutes as he continues to work his way back from offseason knee surgery.

Unfortunately for the Philadelphia 76ers and the fantasy managers invested in their marquee players, injuries have been a significant factor in recent years. Whether we're talking Joel Embiid, Paul George or anyone else,

George and Embiid both struggled in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, which was their second game playing together this season.

Tyrese Maxey doesn't look like he'll play against the Hawks, but Joel Embiid could suit up despite his current playing schedule.

Paul George assures fans his back is fine after heavy minutes vs. Hawks, calling himself “a bird leaving the nest” and ready to take flight.
