Paul George is no longer a member of the Los Angeles Clippers but he is coming back to LA soon.
However, this time he will be entering the Clippers’ stadium as an opponent.
According to Chris Haynes, George will make his return to Los Angeles for the first time to face the Clippers on November 6.
Will his Philadelphia 76ers defeat the Clippers and how will LA fans receive George?

George spent five seasons with the Clippers and was perhaps their biggest star.
Through thick and thin, George rode it out with the Clippers and seemed committed to the team.
But rumors about him leaving Los Angeles popped up last season and they were running rampant by the end of 2023-24.
The Sixers were eager to sign George and offered him a new deal and a chance at more postseason success alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and others.
George seems very excited about what may be ahead for him and he has also said that he holds no hard feelings against the Clippers.
In fact, he said he will remain friends with Kawhi Leonard and other LA stars, which is a good sign.
However, fans of the Clippers might not be too happy to see George in November.
Some of them may feel he abandoned the team even though he was with them for multiple seasons.
George might hear a mix of cheers and boos when he faces off against his old team.
It’ll certainly be an entertaining and interesting game for both the Clippers and the 76ers.
