The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot of pressing concerns this season, none more important than their current bouts with injuries. Joel Embiid has his own set of recurring miscues, but that at least has become a bit more of an optimistic front, especially when compared to the present situation of Paul George.
While an argument could be made that Embiid had a worse injury, George’s is more recent. Hence, he did not get a lot of time to recover since he incurred his injury a bit later in the offseason. That puts him in a more precarious situation, and his status this preseason has been pretty telling of his current progress.
