Paul George undergoes procedure on left knee after offseason injury originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The 2024-25 Sixers’ injury woes have bled into the offseason.
The team announced that Paul George “underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee” Monday to “treat an injury sustained during a recent workout.”
George’s procedure was performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow, who also did Joel Embiid’s arthroscopic left knee surgery in April.
“George will now begin a rehabilitation program and his progress will be monitored regularly,” the Sixers said in their statement. “He will be re-evaluated prior to the start of training camp.”
The nine-time All-Star forward dealt with injuries throughout his first season as a Sixer and wound up playing in 41 games. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. George was ruled out for the season in March because of left knee and left adductor muscle issues. The 35-year-old also picked up a left pinkie injury during the Sixers’ 24-58 season.
“I think we were just in a scramble all year,” George said at his exit interview. “To be honest, I think we were just in a scramble. One player comes in, one player goes out, and it kind of was just that cycle all season long. I give Coach (Nick) Nurse a ton of credit for just picking up pieces … trying to figure things out as we were going throughout the year.
“But I think, again, there was no consistency in terms of lineups, personnel and who was on the floor in general. … There’s no consistency with just the guys being on the floor together.”
Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey told reporters Friday in Las Vegas that Embiid is on track to be ready for training camp. Morey said Jared McCain (left lateral meniscus surgery) is on track, too.
