The Sixers signed George, the nine-time All-Star to a four-year, $211.5 million to complement Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. However, George essentially has been a role player.

The Philadelphia 76ers are 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-31 record. Nick Nurse’s team has been seriously underwhelming. Injuries have played a significant part in the Sixers’ struggles. Joel Embiid has only played in 15 games,

It would be helpful for the Sixers to get George going on that offensive end of the floor. While, obviously, the offense will go through Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, they didn't bring George in just to be a role player. They brought George in to give the Sixers that third star and for him to take pressure off the two aforementioned stars.
