[Saba Sports] The Philadelphia 76ers are managing significant injuries with both Joel Embiid and Paul George sidelined.
The team faced the Milwaukee Bucks in their season opener without their two stars. While George initially received positive news after hyperextending his knee in the preseason, he’s now expected to miss more time, including the upcoming two-game road trip starting Oct. 25, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
An update on his availability is expected next week.
George’s absence is a blow for the 76ers, but as he continues to progress without setbacks, his return could provide a major boost. His addition from the Clippers brings high expectations for the Sixers’ playoff potential.
