Paul George Sidelined with Knee Injury for 76ers' Wednesday Matchup

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George is out for Wednesday's game against Toronto due to a knee injury. George signed a four-year max contract with the 76ers this summer after an injury-riddled five-year tenure with the Clippers, where he averaged 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals but played in only 263 total games. Entering his age-34 season, durability remains a significant concern, having played over 56 games only once with the Clippers (74 games last season). He projects as the 76ers' third option behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, but is expected to have ample offensive opportunities. George has consistently delivered All-Star caliber numbers when healthy, despite a history of significant injuries.
