Paul George is clearly making the most his NBA break for All-Star weekend, judging by the pictures his wife Daniela has shared on Instagram.
George had a nightmare in his last appearance for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he only managed to score two points in his team’s 100-96 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
But the 34-year-old George, who is on a four-year, $212million deal with the Sixers, isn’t dwelling on such a poor display,
His wife shared a provocative picture of herself and George posing together on the beach during their weekend vacation.
In a separate picture, George appeared to be sipping some champagne. In an earlier post on her Instagram story, Daniela had posted an image of a glass that had ‘Dom Perignon’ written across it.
And while the football fans in the city of Philadelphia are celebrating the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, the basketball fans were not impressed by seeing what George was up to.
One wrote: ‘Paul George is legit on vacation during this all star weekend. Jimmy Butler would’ve rounded the Sixers up like the military sergeant from Full Metal Jacket and got us LOCKED IN.’
Another said: ‘Paul George can’t be serious dude get this guy off my team I’m sick of him embarrassing me.’
A different comment on X read: ‘Paul George dropped 2 points before All Star break and now he’s on vacation.
‘The 76ers got fleeced. They handed this man 211 million dollars.’
George has been with his wife for a decade. They have three kids together and got married in June 2022.
Despite his disastrous performance in Brooklyn, George was defended by his coach Nick Nurse after the game.
‘I think he had a couple of opportunities there, and again, they double-teamed him a lot,’ Nurse said.
‘They weren’t going to give him a ton of looks. I thought they pressured up the floor when he got in actions.
‘Even off-ball stuff, they were sending two to him, so he didn’t really have much choice on a lot of them [but] to move the ball.’
The Sixers, who are 20-34 for the season and 11th in the Eastern Conference, return to action on February 20 against the champions, Boston Celtics.
George went to Philadelphia last year in the offseason from Los Angeles Clippers, in a move that many thought would help the Sixers close the gap on the Celtics.
