76ers’ George Out vs. Lakers to be checked in the coming days

The Philadelphia-76s said on Tuesday that the forward-looking Paul George suffered tendon injury to the pinkie finger on his non-shooting left hand.

George injured his finger when he trapped on Saturday against Chicago Bulls. An MRI and ultrasound showed the tendon damage, the team said.

George sat out on Tuesday evening’s game against Lakers, the 15th game he has missed this season and will be evaluated in the coming days. But trainer Nick Nurse stated that the injury is not greater and that George is day to day.

George, 34, had already missed games this season with knee and groin injuries, and due to load control. He has an average of 17.1 points and had just scored 30 points in a win on Friday over Cleveland in the first season of a four -year -old, $ 212 million free agent agreement.

Also on Tuesday, Joel Embiid (left knee injury handling) again sat against Lakers and is expected to miss Wednesday’s match against Kings. He heated against lacquer in full uniform one day after he was discovered on the practice of performing hand stages.
