Paul George, a key player for the Philadelphia 76ers, will be sidelined for at least the next two games after hyperextending his left knee during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The injury adds to concerns, as George had previously hyperextended the same knee during the preseason. Despite the setback, initial reports from the team indicate that an MRI revealed no structural damage, which is a positive sign for his recovery prospects.
The team has announced that George will be reevaluated on Monday to determine his progress and whether he can return to the court soon.
In the meantime, he will miss the 76ers’ upcoming games against the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Clippers, creating a notable absence for the team as they navigate a crucial stretch in their schedule.
This development puts additional pressure on the remaining 76ers’ roster to step up in George’s absence.
While the lack of structural damage suggests he may avoid a long-term recovery process, the team will likely prioritize caution to prevent further aggravation of the injury.
