An NBA scout has issued a cautionary recommendation for the Boston Celtics regarding veteran forward Paul George, suggesting the team limit his playing time to approximately 60 games this season. The warning, reported by The Sporting News, highlights concerns about managing the 34-year-old's workload and injury risk as he enters his 15th NBA campaign.
George, a nine-time All-Star, joined the Celtics in the offseason after stints with the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Los Angeles Clippers. The scout's assessment underscores the delicate balance Boston faces in maximizing George's contributions while preserving his health for a potential deep playoff run.
