But he went on a tear in the second half, earning massive cheers from the crowd after hitting <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/sixers-bulls-takeaways-paul-george-joel-embiid-justin-edwards-vj-edgecombe-20260325.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/sixers-bulls-takeaways-paul-george-joel-embiid-justin-edwards-vj-edgecombe-20260325.html\">three consecutive shots.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p type-interstitial text-primary\"><b>\u00bb READ MORE:<!-- --> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-type=\"interstitial\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sixers\/sixers-nba-playoffs-play-in-tournament-tickets-how-to-watch-schedule-20260412.html\" class=\"no-underline text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\">Everything you need to know about the Sixers in the NBA playoffs: Schedule, bracket, how to watch, tickets, more<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">The love hasn\u2019t stopped since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cHe does a really good job of remaining poised even when things aren\u2019t going his way, per se,\u201d Kelly Oubre Jr. said. \u201cHe\u2019s finally starting to just spread his wings a little bit in Philly and fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">It\u2019s clear from watching George that he\u2019s enjoying the game more this season. He\u2019s more expressive, hyping up the crowd after big shots or big stops. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cI\u2019m out there because I want to do something special and do something big,\u201d George said after an April 3 win over Minnesota. \u201cThe only way I\u2019m going to be able to do that is if I feel good on the court and capable. Those emotions were suppressed because of trying to just play through stuff, and feeling like a shell, almost, because I was limited. Now that that hasn\u2019t been a problem, those emotions are starting to show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">George has looked more explosive since returning from his suspension. He\u2019s found more separation off the dribble and put up his highest-scoring games of his Sixers career so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Before this season, George struggled with left knee injuries for some time, which played a part in his lack of burst last year. It also led to his season ending last March after he received injections in his left groin and knee. He later had arthroscopic surgery in the offseason after reinjuring it in a workout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cThe time off has really unlocked me and allowed me to play free and to be able to play aggressively,\u201d George said. \u201cI don\u2019t want it to get confused, I was healthy, but I needed time for my body to heal and for my body to recover. I was healthy and playing, but the games were coming too fast, and my body wasn\u2019t responding quickly enough. I wanted to keep playing, but I knew that my body needed time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">The time off allowed George avoid the \u201cpounding and wear and tear\u201d of the NBA schedule, which helped him prioritize rehab and recovery over time. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">George felt good enough after returning from suspension that he played both of the Sixers\u2019 remaining back-to-backs after being held out of them to start the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p type-interstitial text-primary\"><b>\u00bb READ MORE:<!-- --> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-type=\"interstitial\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/sports\/sixers-nba-playoffs-tyrese-maxey-vj-edgecombe-paul-george-orlando-magic-20260413.html\" class=\"no-underline text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\">As Magic await and Celtics loom, Sixers can make a playoff statement even in defeat<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">One drawback for George was that his suspension meant he couldn\u2019t be around the team for games. But the forward was allowed to do pretty much everything else. He regularly worked out at the team facility and worked on scout team to mimic stars like Luka Don\u010di\u0107 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">He also worked extensively with <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/vj-edgecombe\">VJ Edgecombe<\/a> during his time off the court. George, 35, described the rookie as like a \u201clittle brother\u201d to him. Edgecombe has since credited George with helping grow his one-on-one skills and making him a more of a complete player. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cWith me and [Edgecombe], it\u2019s just helping him understand can play at a different pace and tempo and control the game and turn his jets on and be explosive in spurts, instead of being explosive at all times,\u201d George said. \u201cI think he can really catch defenses off guard by playing around with his cadence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">With <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/joel-embiid\">Joel Embiid<\/a> sidelined for at least the play-in tournament, George\u2019s reemergence is critical to the Sixers\u2019 chances of advancing to the postseason this year. Since returning to the lineup, George has averaged 21 points, which was second only to <a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/tyrese-maxey\">Tyrese Maxey<\/a> during that period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">But more importantly, George finally feels mostly healthy, and, with two years left on his max contract, the Sixers will need him playing at this level. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cTo start the year out not feeling all the way 100, but then end the year closer to 100, everybody\u2019s noticed it,\u201d George said. \u201cI\u2019m happier at home. My family, my parents notice it. My teammates notice it.
