Paul George to make 76ers debut vs. Suns
11/03/2024 07:19 PM
Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George is expected to make his team debut on Monday night against the Phoenix Suns, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
George hyperextended his left knee in a preseason game on October 14, suffering a bone bruise. The veteran star has been working his way back, recently participating in scrimmages during team practices. Barring any setbacks, Charania notes, George will spring into regular-season action for the first time since joining the Sixers this past offseason.
"I had a really good two days of finally being on-court and practicing and running hard and being in live action," George said on Friday, explaining that working on his conditioning was the last step before making his return to the court. "The knee up to this point feels really good."
The 76ers are 1-4 to start the 2024-25 season, most recently losing to the Memphis Grizzlies. They will face George’s former team, the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday and then play the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday to wrap up their road trip.
Joel Embiid will remain out, according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Paul George will be listed as questionable on the injury report.
