Paul George Not Expected for Season Opener Despite Recent 5-on-5 Participation

Paul George is not expected to be ready for the Philadelphia 76ers' season opener. Coach Nick Nurse confirmed his unavailability for opening night, despite George having participated in some 5-on-5 drills this week. While he won't be on the court for the first game, there is an indication that he may not be far behind in his recovery and could return to action relatively soon.
