Paul George Says He Won’t Open Sixers Camp, Not Cleared for Contact

The All-Star forward continues a symptom-driven ramp-up from offseason knee surgery with no firm timeline for full contact.

Overview

  • George said he does not expect to take part at the start of Philadelphia’s training camp.
  • He is lifting and doing on-court work limited to stationary drills and short moves, with no full-contact participation.
  • He reported no swelling as his workload increases and said there is no set timetable for clearance to practice fully.
  • The veteran is progressing after an offseason arthroscopic procedure on his left knee.
  • As camp begins Saturday before a trip to Abu Dhabi for two preseason games against the Knicks, he plans to provide leadership and mentor younger teammates.
