Paul George has been unable to find consistency as a shooter during his first season with the Sixers. A 5-for-18 line in Monday night's loss only made matters worse.

Because of injuries to both players, the two All-Stars have played together in only 12 of the Sixers’ 33 games. On Saturday, Embiid finished with game highs of 28 points and 12 rebounds in just three quarters of action. George, who also sat out the fourth quarter, added 17 points, six assists, and two steals.
