There was a range of emotions among the fans when former Clipper Paul George faced the LA squad and his former teammates for the first time. Some fans expressed their disapproval with boos, while others showed a bit of support by cheering during a timeout when the Clippers played a tribute video of his highlights with L.A.


In his second game of the season for the Sixers, Paul George scored 18 points on 7 of 9 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in just 24 minutes.

Due to a left knee injury that postponed his season debut, he is currently limited in his playing time.


Tyrese Maxey, the starting guard for the Sixers, contributed 12 points but was ruled out in the 4th quarter due to soreness in his right hamstring. The 76ers were also without the presence of Joel Embiid, who is currently serving a three-game suspension due to an altercation involving a Philadelphia sports columnist.

In the third quarter, the Clippers outscored the 76ers 33-17, securing the lead that ultimately led them to victory. This loss was the fourth in a row for the 76ers, leaving them with a 1-6 record for the season.
