Jeff Teague doesn’t expect the Philadelphia 76ers to do much better this upcoming season. According to the one-time NBA champion and All-Star, the team’s best-case scenario this year is to qualify for the play-in tournament.
During a recent episode of the Club 520 podcast, Teague also expressed his doubts about whether Paul George can regain his old form with the Philadelphia 76ers.
“Paul George is cooked, PG is cooked bro… He’s one of the coldest players I have ever seen play basketball… He was a third option last year, bro… There’s a great chance he’s going to be hurt this year. Which is for real, cause how often is this n**** not hurt?” Teague said.
“They’re going to be at full strength for the first game of the season, in game two, they’re going to be out… Come on, y’all, they are done!” he added.
Philadelphia 76ers News: Paul George drops confident outlook on the team’s overall health
The Philadelphia 76ers continue to be hounded by their injury concerns, but Paul George strongly believes the team is ready to contend this upcoming season.
“We look good bro. Yeah, we look straight, we healthy,” George said on IShowSpeed’s stream.
The team retooled its roster this offseason by re-signing Justin Edwards, Eric Gordon, and Kyle Lowry, while adding free agent Trendon Watford and drafting VJ Edgecombe using the third overall pick. All that’s left for them to do is to re-sign restricted free agent Quentin Grimes.
