Sixers say George out at least 2 more games

NBA

Paul George will miss at least two more games as he continues to recover from a bone bruise in his left knee.

The Philadelphia 76ers updated George’s recovery Thursday, saying he’s making progress from an injury he suffered in a preseason game Oct. 14 against the Atlanta Hawks.

George sat out the team’s season-opening loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and now won’t play on the road against the Toronto Raptors or the Indiana Pacers this weekend.

Fellow 76ers star Joel Embiid also will miss at least two more games, the Sixers previously announced, as he continues to manage a left knee injury.

George, a nine-time All-Star, was injured when his knee buckled on a defensive play in the second quarter of the Hawks game. Tests showed no structural damage.

Philly signed George to a four-year, $212 million contract as a free agent this summer.
