The 76ers have faced many injuries this season, with key players like Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George out. This has led to a tough start with a 2-12 record. Things got worse on Wednesday when Paul George, who had just returned to the lineup, got injured again, adding more challenges for the team.
Star forward Paul George exited the game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a left knee hyperextension in the third quarter. It is more serious because this injury occurred on the same leg that caused George to miss the start of the regular season due to a bone bruise.
In the third quarter, Paul George grabbed a rebound but collided knees with Memphis’ Desmond Bane. Then he limped off the court and went straight to the locker room.
