Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday following an injury sustained during a recent workout, the team announced.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow at NYU–Langone Sports Medicine Orthopedic Center. George will begin rehabilitation immediately and be re-evaluated before the start of training camp.
George, 35, signed a four-year, $212 million contract with the Sixers in the summer of 2024. However, his first season in Philadelphia was riddled with injuries, including knee and adductor issues, leading to one of the least productive years of his career. He averaged just 16.2 points over 41 games, his lowest full-season average since 2011-12.
The nine-time All-Star and 15-year veteran has career averages of 20.6 points across 908 games. The Sixers remain hopeful that George will return to full strength ahead of the 2025–26 NBA season as they look to compete at the top of the Eastern Conference.
