Paul George hoping a summer of health and stability will lead to a bounce-back season

Paul Hudrick has been covering the Sixers as a writer, reporter, podcaster, on-camera personality and analyst since 2016. He is the Editor-in-Chief at Liberty Ballers.

George played in only 41 injury-marred games, struggling to resemble his nine-time All-Star self for most of them.
