Paul George joined the Philadelphia 76ers during the offseason after an impressive five-season tenure with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, his departure didn’t sit well with his former teammate, Norman Powell. Since George’s exit, Powell has taken multiple jabs at him several times. Recently, he made another remark directed at George.
During a recent interview, Powell claimed that no one on this year’s Clippers team has an ego, subtly alluding to George. He recently took another indirect jab at George by wearing a customized hoodie. The hoodie features a photo of Powell, accompanied by the phrase “Addition by Subtraction” written below his image.

Norman Powell Talks About Kawhi Leonard’s Upcoming Return
Clippers star player Kawhi Leonard suffered a right knee injury during the 2023-24 NBA playoffs, which kept him out of action for an extended period. He has yet to make his debut for the 2024-25 NBA season. However, after his recent appearances in practice sessions, both fans and teammates are excited about his potential return. In a recent interview, Norman Powell reflected on Kawhi Leonard’s impending comeback.
“The job is to be ready for a deep playoff run. That’s how we see it… Everybody is gonna have to sacrifice when Kawhi comes back. He’s the franchise player. Good thing about this team we have no egos.” Powell said (Via Joey Linn).
