Boston Celtics acquire Paul George from Philadelphia 76ers in trade

The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and four future draft picks in early July. George, a 16-year NBA veteran and nine-time All-Star, averaged 17.3 points per game last season but has struggled with injuries, playing 60 games or fewer in six of the last seven seasons. The Celtics are expected to rely on George's shooting ability, especially from three-point range, as they aim to become a playoff contender in the upcoming season. They will face the 76ers in two preseason matchups, providing George with a chance to compete against his former team early in the season.
