Paul George is expected to make his season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday in a matchup against the Phoenix Suns, according to sources close to Shams Charania of ESPN.
George, who has been dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, has missed the start of the season as he recovered from the injury.
His return is highly anticipated by the team and fans alike, as the 76ers hope his presence will strengthen their roster and bring an added boost to their early-season performance.
Joel Embiid, the 76ers’ star center, has also been in the spotlight lately for an off-court incident. The NBA has launched an investigation into Embiid’s actions following an altercation on Saturday night, during which he reportedly shoved a columnist.
This incident has added another layer of attention to the team as they navigate both injury returns and league scrutiny. Despite these distractions, Embiid returned to practice and completed his first full-contact, 5-on-5 scrimmage on Friday.
His return to active play is seen as a positive sign for the 76ers, who rely heavily on Embiid’s leadership and performance on the court.
