If Paul George is aware of the backlash from 76ers fans over his vacation to St Barts, he showed no sign of it on social media on Monday.
The Philadelphia player sparked outrage as he posed for a sexually suggestive picture with his wife Daniela over the weekend, just days after an awful performance for his team.
In his most recent pictures, George poses alongside his wife Daniela at a restaurant in the Caribbean sunshine. Daniela turned the camera on herself for a quick video on her story, showing off her bikini as she soaks up the rays.
George has been with his wife for a decade. They have three kids together and got married in June 2022.
The 34-year-old George will surely be expected back in Philadelphia soon enough – their next game is on Thursday, against the NBA champions Boston Celtics.
In his last game before the weekend break for the NBA All-Star game in San Francisco, George only managed two points as his team lost 100-96 to the Brooklyn Nets.

It was a new low in what has been a disaster of a season for George, following an agreement on a $212million deal with the 76ers last year after going into free agency upon leaving the Los Angeles Clippers.
George’s pictures over the weekend sparked an angry response from most of the Philly fanbase.
One wrote: ‘Paul George is legit on vacation during this all star weekend. Jimmy Butler would’ve rounded the Sixers up like the military sergeant from Full Metal Jacket and got us LOCKED IN.’
Another said: ‘Paul George can’t be serious dude get this guy off my team I’m sick of him embarrassing me.’
A different comment on X read: ‘Paul George dropped 2 points before All Star break and now he’s on vacation.
‘The 76ers got fleeced. They handed this man 211 million dollars.’
The Sixers are 20-34 for the season and 11th in the Eastern Conference.
George’s arrival at the team was considered by many to be a move that transformed the team into genuine rivals to the Celtics but so far this season, the team have looked miles away from their level.
After facing the Celtics, George has a second chance against the Nets to improve his showing before the midseason interval.
