Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George suffered a hyperextended left knee early in the second half of Wednesday night's 117-111 loss at the Memphis Grizzlies, and he did not return.
Sixers officials said further testing will be done Thursday. It was the same knee that George hyperextended in the preseason, forcing him to miss the first five games of the regular season.
Asked if he could rule out structural damage to George's knee, coach Nick Nurse said, "I think so."
"I think they said it was similar to last time, which was a bone bruise, I think," Nurse said.
