Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has announced that he will be taking a hiatus from his popular podcast, “Podcast P,” to focus on his injury rehabilitation and the team’s push for the NBA playoffs. The decision comes as the 76ers struggle to secure a playoff spot, currently sitting at 20-37 and 2.5 games behind the final play-in spot.
George, who has been dealing with multiple injuries this season, including a lingering finger injury, has only played in 38 of the 76ers’ 57 games. His performance has been underwhelming, with career-low statistics and a negative plus-minus for the first time since his rookie season.

Despite these challenges, George remains committed to helping his team make a playoff run. In a recent episode of his podcast, George explained his decision to take a break from the show. This was something that fans did no expected even though they kind off wanted it.
The clear message by Paul
The 76ers have faced a difficult season, with injuries and inconsistent play contributing to their struggles. However, George’s decision to prioritize his health and the team’s success has been met with support from fans and teammates alike. Head coach Doc Rivers expressed his confidence in George’s ability to bounce back and make a significant impact on the court.
“I want to let the Podcast P family know that after today’s episode with Dwight (Howard), I plan to take a break from the pod just to focus on getting my body right, getting mentally right, and help this squad make a push towards our goal to finish this season out and give ourselves a chance to be in contention to compete for a championship,” George said.
As the 76ers continue their fight for a playoff spot, the NBA community will be closely watching George’s progress and the team’s performance. Whether they can overcome their challenges and secure a postseason berth remains to be seen, but George’s dedication to his team is clear.
