• 76ers' Paul George: Playing on minutes restriction

  6H ago • By RotoWire

  George (knee) will make his 76ers regular-season debut Monday against the Suns and will be under a minutes restriction, Dana Scott of Arizona Central reports. George missed the 76ers' first five games of the regular season due to a bone bruise in his left knee that he picked up during the preseason. He has yet to see the floor with Joel Embiid (knee), but George will take some of the offensive load off of Tyrese Maxey on Monday, the latter of whom is shooting just 38.5 percent from the field (including 26.3 percent from three on 11.4 3PA/G). Across 74 regular-season outings with the Clippers during the 2023-24 campaign, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals over 33.8 minutes per game.

  George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns, though the team expects he will play, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. George has yet to make his regular-season debut for the 76ers due to a bone bruise on his left knee that he sustained in the preseason. However, the superstar has been able to fully participate in practices and 5-on-5 scrimmages, and he will likely give it a go Monday. The club will see how George feels after pregame warmups and shootaround, and his status for the game is expected to be decided closer to the game's 10:15 p.m. ET tipoff.

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  George (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. George was a full participant during Friday's practice and shootaround, including five-on-five scrimmages with the team. However, the 34-year-old will join Joel Embiid (knee) on the sideline Saturday, though both appear close to making their 2024-25 debut. George's next chance to feature will come Monday against the Suns.

• 76ers' Paul George: Practices fully Friday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  George (knee), who is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, was a full participant in Friday's practice and shootaround, including five-on-five scrimmages with the team, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. George's participation in practice suggests he is nearing a return to game action and bodes well for his potential comeback as soon as Saturday against the Grizzlies. Joel Embiid (knee) has already said he is not playing Saturday despite joining George as a full participant in practice, so it would not come as a shock if the 76ers hold both of their stars out for another game.
