Paul George was called out by Jalen Rose's daughter, Mariah Rose, after he was spotted in a nightclub sporting a knee brace.

George underwent left knee surgery in July after an injury-riddled first season with the Philadelphia 76ers. He joined the Sixers last summer after signing a four-year, $212 million contract.

In a video posted Monday on her "Hoops for Hotties" page on Instagram, Mariah was critical of George for his off-court activities while recovering from knee surgery.

"This NBA star legally stole $200 million from the Philadelphia 76ers," Mariah said. "Paul set on a quest to find a team dumb enough to give him whatever he wanted for a long-term commitment, and he stumbled upon the Philadelphia 'Trust the Process' 76ers.

"Philly said, 'What could be better than combining our injury-prone superstar with another injury-prone superstar?' and they got exactly what the doctor ordered: an absolute mess of a season.
"This photo of 35-year-old Paul George in line for a nightclub with a knee brace on is indefensible. If you have a knee brace on and you're out at the club, you're addicted to outside. That is a damn shame."

George entered free agency last summer after the LA Clippers didn't offer him a new max contract. He eventually joined the Philadelphia 76ers and signed a four-year, $212 million deal.

Many viewed the deal as risky because even though George was coming off an All-Star campaign with the Clippers, he was 34 years old and had endured a lot of injuries over the years.

The Sixers' front office thought PG13 was what the team needed alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to finally get over the hump in the Eastern Conference. However, George got injured during the preseason and never looked like himself. He was shut down because of adductor and knee injuries, undergoing surgery on his left knee last month. He's expected to get re-evaluated before training camp in September.

While ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Paul George will be re-evaluated before training camp, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reported that George might not be ready to return by training camp and could miss the preseason. Siegel added that there's concern about Joel Embiid's knee issues that the franchise is trying to downplay.

"Only updates are that George is out for the start of training camp and may not play in the preseason," Siegel tweeted. "Too early to tell there. As for Embiid, there is genuine concern about his knee health. Of course, word from Philly gets downplayed, but around the league, word is bad."

The Sixers earned the third pick in this year's draft, picking Baylor's V.J. Edgecombe.
