Philadelphia, PA — Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Monday after sustaining an injury during a recent workout, the NBA team confirmed.
The procedure was performed in New York by a team of medical professionals.
The 35-year-old veteran, who joined the 76ers in a recent offseason move, is expected to begin a rehabilitation program immediately. The team’s medical staff will closely monitor his recovery to ensure a timely and full recovery.
The 76ers organization has stated that George’s condition will be re-evaluated ahead of the start of training camp.
The team is hopeful that he will be ready for the upcoming season, though no official timeline for his return has been set. George’s rehabilitation process will play a key role in determining his availability for the start of the campaign.
