Overview

• George underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on July 14 after sustaining an injury during a recent workout, the 76ers announced.
• The surgery was performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow at NYU Langone Sports Medicine Orthopedic Center, who also treated Joel Embiid’s knee last October.
• He has started a structured rehabilitation program and will be re-evaluated by the team prior to the opening of training camp.
• Last season, George appeared in just 41 games due to recurring knee, groin and finger injuries, marking the fifth time in six years he played fewer than 60 contests.
• Entering the second year of a four-year, $212 million contract, he faces renewed scrutiny over his durability and the impact on Philadelphia’s title aspirations.
