Paul George took a break from his career-worst season to set sail to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with his wife, Daniela Rajic.
The 76ers’ star wing, who is averaging his lowest points-per-game total since 2011-12, posted some spicy pictures of himself and his wife on the beach, but fans weren’t thrilled to see them soaking up the sun on vacation while Philadelphia is in the middle of a nightmare season.
It appears that the two also attended a dinner at La Guérite restaurant during the steamy weekend.
In a season that started with championship aspirations, the 76ers hit the All-Star break at 20-34 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
George, who has missed 19 games this season, is in the first year of a four-year, $212 million deal with the 76ers after playing out his contract with the Clippers last season.
He’s averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
The win-now strategy has backfired with Joel Embiid, who signed a $193 million extension this offseason, only playing in 17 games this season due to various injuries.
Los Angeles reportedly offered George a three-year, $150 million deal last season, which George called “disrespectful” at the time.
The 76ers are in a state of turmoil as their season spirals out of control, including an embarrassing 100-96 loss to the Nets just before the All-Star break.
In 37 minutes, George scored just two points, including 1-for-7 from the field and 0-for-5 from 3-point range.
“Paul George dropped 2 points before All-Star break, and now he’s on vacation,” a popular X account, @casualtakeking, posted. “The 76ers got fleeced. They handed this man 211 million dollars lol.”
Another X account, @kat_wrld, added “The 76ers just paid Paul George a max to have them at 20-34 and Cooper Flagg isn’t coming to save them.”
The 76ers’ 2025 NBA Draft first round draft pick is owned by the Thunder and is top-six protected, meaning if it lands at No. 7 or higher, Philadelphia will be forced to give it up to Oklahoma City.
Rajic and George were married in 2022 and have three children together: Olivia, Natasha, and Paul Vuk.
