Paul George spotted back on the beach with wife Daniela Rajic after controversial snaps and NBA playoff disappointment

Paul George was spotted enjoying a beach day with his wife Daniela Rajic, marking one of his first public outings since missing the NBA playoffs. The Philadelphia 76ers star looked relaxed as the couple soaked up the sun on the beach, months after he faced criticism over controversial social media photos. George, who has kept a relatively low profile since the controversy, appeared in good spirits, enjoying quality time with his beautiful wife.

While the NBA playoffs heat up without him, Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has taken a step back from the spotlight, enjoying a much-needed beach break with his wife, Daniela Rajic. Over the weekend, Rajic shared a series of sun-soaked photos on Instagram, capturing the couple relaxing and reconnecting away from the pressures of a brutal NBA season. In one sunbed selfie, she simply captioned it: "Happy girl."
Controversy also followed George earlier in the season during the All-Star break, when he and Daniela shared steamy beach photos from a Caribbean getaway. While the posts sparked criticism given the Sixers’ struggles at the time. The couple has been together for over a decade and shares three children. They married in June 2022 and continue to present a united front, both online and in real life.
For George, who signed a $212 million deal with the 76ers, this offseason has come earlier than expected — and not under the circumstances he had hoped for. The Sixers were viewed as serious contenders to dethrone the Boston Celtics this year, largely because of George’s high-profile move from the Los Angeles Clippers. Instead, the team stumbled to a disappointing 24-58 record, finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference.
George’s debut season in Philadelphia was marred by challenges on and off the court. Statistically, he posted just 16.2 points per game across 41 appearances — a sharp drop from what fans expected. His struggles became even more glaring when he faced injuries that forced him to the sidelines in mid-March. After a series of evaluations, George required injections in both his left adductor muscle and left knee, effectively shutting down his season early. The news hit even harder given that teammate Joel Embiid had already been ruled out with a knee injury days before. Arguably, it was a nightmare for the Sixers.
