Just as things were looking up for the Philadelphia 76ers, their past demons came back to haunt them. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Paul George completed a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee today after sustaining an injury during a recent workout. A source told Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports that the surgery was essentially a clean-up and it didn’t involve any major ligaments. He’s set to begin a rehabilitation plan and will be re-evaluated before the start of training camp.
