Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George suffered a hyperextended left knee during Monday’s preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The injury occurred in the second quarter, forcing George to leave the game prematurely.

This marks George’s second preseason appearance since signing with the 76ers, after a significant offseason move.

Unfortunately, this latest setback may impact his early season plans, especially considering that he suffered a similar injury to his right knee in 2023, which sidelined him for several weeks.

The team is expected to monitor George’s condition closely, with further updates likely to come as they assess the severity of the injury.

Given George’s importance to the 76ers’ roster, the team will be cautious with his recovery to ensure he is fully healthy for the regular season.
