Paul George Not Cleared for Contact as 76ers Open Training Camp

He is ramping up after a July arthroscopic knee procedure with no swelling reported.

Overview

  • George said he does not expect to take part at the start of camp and remains limited to non-contact work.
  • He detailed daily lifting and on-court stationary drills with one- to two-dribble moves, not yet conditioning or scrimmaging.
  • There is no timeline for full participation, though he reported no swelling as the workload increases.
  • He underwent an arthroscopic cleanup on his left knee in July and is progressing through a medically guided ramp-up.
  • With Joel Embiid managing a knee issue and Jared McCain rehabbing a UCL tear, the Sixers are leaning on George’s leadership with younger players during his ramp-up.
