Paul George will miss the rest of the season to recover from his injuries, ending a difficult first year in Philadelphia for the nine-time All-Star.

The 76ers announced Monday that George had received injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee, following consultations with specialists.

“Following the procedure, George is medically unable to play and will be out for at least six weeks,” the team said in its statement.

George, who turns 35 on May 2, signed a $212 million, four-year contract in free agency last summer. But his first year in Philly was marred by injuries that resulted in the forward having one of the worst years of his NBA career.

He averaged 16.2 points in just 41 games, easily his lowest scoring average in a full season since he averaged 12.1 points for Indiana in his second NBA season.

The 76ers last month shut down center Joel Embiid so he can focus on treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee. Without George and Embiid, the 76ers potentially can lose more games down the stretch and increase their odds of keeping their first-round pick. The 76ers’ first-round pick is top-six protected or else it goes to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Sixers began the year with NBA championship hopes after signing George to pair him with fellow All-Stars Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. All three have missed chunks of time with injuries.

George is owed an average of $54.1 million over the next three seasons, opening the possibility the 76ers could shop him in the summer.

mavericks’ davis practices with G league team >> Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis practiced with the club’s NBA G League affiliate to get some five-on-five work in as he prepares for a possible return from a left adductor strain.

Davis was sent to the Texas Legends for the practice and subsequently recalled. Dallas did the same with guard Jaden Hardy, who has missed the past seven games with a sprained right ankle.

Davis has appeared in just one game with the Mavericks since they acquired the 10-time All-Star six weeks ago in the blockbuster trade that sent five-time all-NBA guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis had 16 points, seven assists and three blocks while playing 31 minutes in a 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Feb. 8, but his injury caused him to leave the game late in the third quarter. He hasn’t played since.
