Paul George is expected to decline his $48.8 million player option for next season with the LA Clippers. While it was initially anticipated that George would sign an extension after Kawhi Leonard’s deal, talks have stalled.

George may explore free agency, with the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers showing interest. The Clippers have not offered him a max deal, hoping he’ll take less to facilitate roster improvements.
