So, it’s probably now OK to breathe a sigh of relief, Sixers fans.
Word of Paul George’s evaluation on the left knee he injured Monday night in a preseason win over the Hawks has come in. The team said an MRI Tuesday revealed that he suffered a bone bruise. In other words, no torn ligaments or other significant injury. George hyperextended the knee early in the second quarter against Atlanta and did not return to the game.
The team says they will reevaluate George in a week, which feels like a rite of passage for every Sixer to go through.
