On Tuesday, 76ers star Paul George released a new episode of Podcast P and his cohosts asked about the Bailey situation. Where most players would avoid that kind of topic, George didn't hesitate to call out Bailey.

One day before Ace Bailey could potentially be selected by the Philadelphia 76ers, Paul George criticized how the 18-year-old has handled things leading up to the 2025 NBA draft.

Bailey notably did not work out with the Philadelphia 76ers, who currently hold the third overall pick. Despite skipping that workout, many analysts still project him to land in Philadelphia. Others believe the 76ers may instead opt for V.J. Edgecombe, who did meet with the team.
