Paul George Out Again with Finger Injury

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George remains sidelined due to a finger injury, which he sustained during a game against the Chicago Bulls. Coach Nick Nurse provided an update indicating that George is making progress in his recovery, although he has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Boston Celtics. George has had a challenging season with multiple injuries, missing a total of 15 games, including due to knee and groin issues. His recent performance had seen an uptick, averaging 20.5 points in January prior to his injury. As the Sixers prepare to face the Celtics, young players will need to step up in George's absence, further complicating the team's efforts against their rivals. The status of other key players, like Joel Embiid, also remains uncertain as injuries continue to affect the team's lineup.
