76ers' Paul George Undergoes Knee Surgery, Status Unclear

Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after injuring it during an offseason workout, with the procedure performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow. George, who played only 41 games in his first season with the Sixers due to multiple injuries, averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. He will begin rehabilitation and is scheduled for re-evaluation before training camp starts in the fall, but no clear return timeline has been set. The 76ers dealt with injuries to key players last season, including Joel Embiid and rookie Jared McCain, raising concerns about team health and consistency going forward. Despite optimism that George could be ready for opening night, his ongoing health issues cast uncertainty over Philadelphia's competitive prospects. The Sixers' success will depend on the ability of their core players to stay healthy and develop chemistry under coach Nick Nurse.
