When healthy, George remains a potent two-way regular season force, though he has had issues in big playoff moments — much like his new teammate Embiid. Across 74 regular season games last year for the 51-31 Clippers, George averaged 22.6 points on .471/.413/.907 shooting splits, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks a night.

His first basket didn’t come until 18 seconds into the second quarter, allowing Paul George to break out of a mini slump in his first game of the season. His final basket came with 10:03 remaining in the game.
