The verdict is in. And ultimately, more fear than harm for the Sixers, who have announcement the absence of Paul George for the next two games, which will see Philadelphia face the Nets and the Clippers.
The player's exam showed no “structural damage” to his left knee, which had already caused him to miss the preseason and the Sixers' first five games. Paul George will be re-evaluated next Monday, and he will therefore possibly be ready to face the Rockets in great shape and currently in 4th place in the West.
In full, a timetable to bounce back?
For the first time this season and before “PG13” was injured, the trio Joel Embiid – Tyrese Maxey – Paul George was able to be aligned together against Memphis. If Paul George returns next Tuesday, and in a perfect world where the Sixers stars don't return to the infirmary and start to find chemistry, Philadelphia has a good opportunity to launch its season in the first part of December…
The Sixers will thus go to Detroit then to Charlotte, before hosting Orlando twice, going to Chicago, to welcome Charlotte again, to challenge Cleveland and finally to host San Antonio.
In any case, Joel Embiid and his teammates have no choice because with the current worst record in the NBA, with only 2 wins for 12 losses, arriving at the Christmas shock against the Celtics without having redressed the situation would be a disaster. Because the “Christmas Game” will already be the 33rd match of the regular season.
