The 76ers have sidelined Paul George due to a right ankle sprain against the Orlando Magic at 8 p.m. EST. Philadelphia originally listed George as probable before ruling him out shortly after its morning shoot-around. The forward will miss 14 of the 76ers’ first 17 games of the 2025-26 season.
His newfound ankle injury seemingly manifested during or after the 76ers’ 127-117 loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday.
Nick Nurse told the media this evening that George revealed to the team today that he was dealing with ankle soreness, which caused his status to plunge from probable to out.
