Paul George has arthroscopic knee surgery after recent workout injury
The Philadelphia 76ers say wing player Paul George has had arthroscopic surgery Monday on his left knee to treat an injury that occurred during a recent workout. The club says George’s rehabilitation program is now set to begin and he will be re-evaluated prior to the start of training camp. George turned 35 on May 2 and is entering the second year of a $212 million, four-year contract he signed in free agency last summer. Last season he was limited by injuries to 41 games and averaged 16.2 points, well below the nine-time NBA All-Star’s career average 20.6 points in 908 games.
