Paul George's Season in Doubt as Sixers Face Injury Woes
The Philadelphia 76ers forward is consulting with doctors about groin and knee injuries, with a potential procedure that could sideline him for the remainder of the season.
- Paul George is consulting with doctors this week to determine treatment options for lingering groin and knee injuries, including the possibility of surgery.
- A decision on George's treatment plan is expected early next week, with surgery potentially ending his season.
- The 76ers, already without Joel Embiid for the rest of the season, are unlikely to make the playoffs as they sit five games out of the play-in race with a 22-43 record.
- George, in his first season with the 76ers, has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performance, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 41 games.
- Philadelphia's medical challenges extend beyond George, with Tyrese Maxey also missing recent games due to back issues, raising concerns about the team's long-term outlook.
