Boston Celtics forward Paul George has been named one of the NBA's most overpaid players for the upcoming 2026-27 season, according to a ranking by Bleacher Report. George, who will earn $54.1 million, joins Jimmy Butler and De'Andre Hunter in the forward category. His injury history is a significant factor; he played only 37 games last season and has consistently struggled with availability in recent years.
