I think for sure it’s a relief that they think it’s not as serious as the last time,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said of George's latest bone bruise that will keep him out the next two games.

The Sixers, who are off to a nightmarish 2-12 start this year, are teetering on the verge of a lost season in the wake of Paul George's latest knee injury.

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered another blow in the 2024-25 season when they lost not only the contest to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, but also Paul George to an injury. George left early in the third quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg and ended up not returning.
