Paul George Expected to Make 76ers Season Debut Tonight vs. Clippers

A minutes limit is planned following summer left-knee surgery.

Overview

  • Philadelphia listed George as questionable earlier Monday, but a pregame lineup card included him in the starting five.
  • Head coach Nick Nurse said final clearance was pending pregame and noted George would be on a minutes restriction if he plays.
  • George has not appeared in a game since March 4 after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in the offseason.
  • The 76ers are 7-5 entering a home-heavy stretch that could benefit from the nine-time All-Star’s two-way presence.
  • Joel Embiid will miss a fourth straight game due to right knee injury management and remains day-to-day, according to Nurse.
