The season for the 76ers is nearing its halfway point, and George has missed 10 games so far.

It appears that someone got the short end of the stick in this deal. George's decline came unexpectedly. After all, in the previous two seasons, he was selected to the All-Star team and put up impressive stats of 23.8…
