Paul George Continues Poor Shooting Streak
7 years agoOklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George had a difficult night shooting Monday night going up against the Sacramento Kings. George scored 18 points, shooting 7-for-17 from the floor and going 3-for-5 from the free throw line. George did fill up the stat sheet in other areas, getting five steals, four boards and four assists. The unfortunate thing for George was this was the fifth game in a row with a field goal percentage below the 50 percent plateau. In the six games proceeding this current shooting slump, PG-13 shot 50 percent or better from the field in each contest.

Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
2 weeks agoShams Charania of ESPN reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin) is consulting with doctors on treatment options for his groin and knee injuries. A decision will be made on whether he'll need a procedure to address either injury. George has missed four consecutive contests dealing with the nagging injuries. He will likely be out of action against Indiana on Friday and Sunday in Dallas as a treatment plan for the 34-year-old will be decided upon next week. With just over a month left in the season, George could very well be shut down since the Sixers don't have much riding on the rest of the season.
