Paul George Injured in 76ers' Loss to Grizzlies

The Philadelphia 76ers faced a challenging loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, falling 117-111, marking their fifth consecutive defeat and leaving them with a dismal 2-12 record this season. Star guard Paul George exited the game early due to a left knee hyperextension, an injury he previously sustained in preseason, leaving uncertainty about his recovery. Despite Joel Embiid's impressive performance with 35 points and 11 rebounds, the Sixers struggled to capitalize on their first game together with their key players, including Tyrese Maxey, who recently returned from a hamstring injury. The Grizzlies, led by Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane, managed to set a season-high with 19 three-pointers in their victory. The Sixers are now set to begin a three-game homestand, hoping to turn their season around despite ongoing injury woes. Rookie Jared McCain showed promise, contributing 20 points off the bench amidst the team's struggles.
