“” Everything was aligning perfectly. Compared to where they are and where they try to go and where I try to arrive too. I think we really have a chance. Seven months after this declaration, made when he arrived in Philadelphia, the events seem to have “aligned” for the Sixers and Paul George. But not in the sense that the winger understood it …
Mined by his injuries and those of Joel Embiid, finally on the touch until the end of the exercise, the Sixers season thus turns to fiasco. Displaying a dynamic in progress of 10 setbacks in 11 outings, Nick Nurse's men were even slightly distant in the race for “play-in”. With the same assessment as the Nets (21 victories – 39 defeats), they only point to 12th place in the East.
While Joel Embiid (30) and especially Tyrese Maxey (24) still have years ahead of them, the 34 -year -old winger, in his 15th season in the big league, is aware that his window for the title begins to close.
“” Each year is a year that I cannot catch up. But I also think of me. I was not in very good health this season. Many things have happened and which I tried to face. I understand. For me too, it is frustrating that these things continue to happen, knowing that this window closes “, he formulates.
Three conducted convention finals
Despite the many health concerns since the start of his career, “PG” participated in 11 playoff campaigns. Of which three completed in the conference final, with the Pacers in 2013 and 2014, and with the Clippers in 2021. But never a final, and except unimaginable reversal, it will not be for this year either.
Author of one of his weakest career campaigns at “Scoring” (16.5 points), Paul George has not yet been spared for physical seeds this season. Between a tendon torn to a left finger, a hyperextension of the left knee, passing by pain in the groin and the right ankle …
“” All we can do is turn to the next day and do our best. It may seem cliché, but it is sort of the way I approach the situation. I just try to be healthy and to be as available as possible “, Displays Paul George whose speech will find it difficult to console fans of the Sixers.
