Paul George Returns for 76ers as Maxey Leads 110-108 Win Over Shorthanded Clippers

Philadelphia is easing him back after offseason left-knee surgery under a strict minutes limit.

Overview

  • Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points and powered a fourth-quarter rally from 10 down to secure the victory.
  • Paul George logged his season debut with nine points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes on a 2-for-9 night, opening with an early three.
  • Joel Embiid sat for right knee injury management, and Andre Drummond filled in with 14 points and 18 rebounds as Philadelphia moved to 8-5.
  • The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard and Derrick Jones Jr., as James Harden scored 28, crossed 28,000 career points, and missed two late threes.
  • Los Angeles led 91-81 with 8:44 left before a 14-3 Sixers run flipped the game, and a late foul on Kris Dunn was overturned on review to set up the final possession.
