Paul George Begins 76ers Camp Limited After Knee Surgery

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George is set to miss the start of the 2025 training camp due to a knee injury sustained in early July, which required arthroscopic surgery. Although George has made significant progress and is able to perform stationary drills and individual work, he has not yet returned to full-contact practice or scrimmaging. The Sixers are taking an open-ended, cautious approach to his recovery to ensure he returns fully healthy during the regular season. George's 2024-25 season was marred by injuries, limiting him to 41 games and a career-low scoring average since 2012. Philadelphia, coming off a disappointing 24-58 season, is counting on George to regain his previous All-Star form to help the team contend in a competitive Eastern Conference. Despite his injury setbacks, George remains motivated to contribute as a player and mentor to younger teammates while working towards a full recovery.
