It's only mid-July, yet the Philadelphia Sixers still can't catch a break. On Monday evening, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Paul George underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee earlier in the day. The injury happened during a recent workout. George will be re-evaluated before the start of training camp.
So, George will spend the rest of the summer rehabbing, while Joel Embiid is allowed to participate in only partial basketball activities after undergoing surgery in April. To have a shot at making the deep playoff run fans have been waiting for, the Sixers need Embiid to be healthy and at his best.
