Paul George made his official return to Los Angeles on Wednesday night, as the 76ers fell to the Clippers, 110-98.

George was dealt to the Clippers before the start of the 2019-20 season as he was supposed to be a member of a new dynasty the organization was trying to build with Kawhi Leonard. He was a three-time All-Star with Los Angeles, but the Clippers never made the NBA Finals.

Before the 2024-25 season, George left the Clippers for new pastures. He signed a deal with the 76ers in hopes of plugging him in with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to elevate the team to the next level.

George’s appearance at the Intuit Dome on Wednesday was only the second game he has appeared in so far this season. He had 18 points and seven rebounds in 24 minutes. The Clippers faithful booed him each time he touched the ball.

"It’s stupid," he said of the booing. "I was a free agent. It wasn’t something that I demanded a trade or went against the team here. I did what was best for me in that situation."
