George diagnosed with left knee bone contusion: out for at least two games The injury will be reassessed next Tuesday

On November 22, Beijing time, the 76ers officially announced that Paul George's left knee MRI results showed no structural damage, and he will miss the next two games (against the Nets and Clippers) due to a bone contusion in his left knee, and will be re-evaluated next Tuesday, Beijing time.

In the 76ers' 111-117 loss to the Grizzlies, George suffered an overextension of his left knee and retired early.

George suffered an injury of overextending his left knee in pre-season this season, which also saw him miss the first five games of the season. It was also a blessing for the 76ers and George, who avoided a more serious injury.

Previously, medical expert Jeffries had said on social media that he was worried about George's ligament damage, after all, this is the second left knee injury in a month. After George's latest injury was released, Jeffries also said it was the best outcome. Bone contusions often occur in injuries with hyperextension, but the timeline for injury recovery can vary widely. Jeffries doesn't think he would be surprised if George needed at least two weeks to recover.

So far this season, George has played in eight games, averaging 14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, shooting just 38.3% from the field and 27.8% from three-point range.

Previously, George praised rookie McCain on the podcast. "He's very cool, he plays with his own style, he knows he belongs here, he doesn't care who's on the pitch, he's the most consistent player on our team at the moment, he's going to be one of the candidates for Rookie of the Year, we have to pick ourselves up, he can't be the most consistent player in our team, there's no limit to his future," George said. In the latest 2K25 rating, McCain received a rating of 83, an improvement of 10 points all of a sudden.
