According to Shams, Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has successfully undergone left knee arthroscopy due to injury during training. George will begin his journey to recovery. He will undergo a new assessment before the training camp begins, whether he can return to the field in the new season.

Paul George has been suffering from injuries since leaving the Thunder. He averaged less than 53 games in the regular season in the five seasons he played with the Clippers, but fortunately he averaged more than 20 points per game, and he is still the top five forward star in the league. Because of this, the 76ers signed George with a maximum salary of 212 million yuan in four years. The idea was to build a double giant combination of Embiid and George.

However, it is unexpected that after George joined the 76ers, his glass-attribute physique undoubtedly showed up. He only played 41 games in the entire regular season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 168 steals per game, among which the scores and rebounds set a record low. Coupled with Embiid, who has a worse appearance rate, the 76ers failed to make the playoffs last season. It would be fine if Embiid, who has a glass attribute in the team, was trained by himself, but George, who signed with a maximum salary, was so bad. It was undoubtedly the decision-making mistake of General Manager Morey. George's maximum salary contract is now three years away, with retribution for Harden, and is now sent back by George.
