George is out for the season.
ESPN reported on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) that Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers is scheduled to be out for the season.
Paul George was called the biggest fish in the FA market last summer. After receiving attention from several teams, George moved to Philadelphia for four years and $212 million.
Considering his considerable age and injury history, there were concerns over his contract. However, Philadelphia had strong intentions to build a big three that could lead to Joel Embiid, Tyreece Maxey and George, and try to win the title.
However, George's first year of transfer was twisted even before the season opened. He suffered a knee injury during the pre-season and could not play in the opening game, and had injuries throughout the season.
His personal performance also declined significantly. He has played in 41 games, recording only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists on average. His field-fighting rate dropped to 43.0 percent and his three-point success rate to 35.8 percent. He was far from what he had shown before the FA. He was also hamstrung by his inability to maintain his normal condition while running despite injury.
George, who was agonizing over how to treat his knee injury, finally decided to leave the season. He is known to have received injections on his left knee. 먹튀검증
ESPN reported, "Paul George was injected into his left knee on Wednesday and is out for the season. He is expected to be out for at least six weeks. Last week, he discussed the best treatment options with medics. He said, "I had two cases of knee hypertension in October and November, suffered a finger tendon injury in January, and recently had groin pain for several weeks."
Philadelphia, which is ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference with 23 wins and 44 losses, is also out of the season early due to a knee injury. It is considered the worst team this season and, contrary to the expectations before the season when it was called a strong team, it was virtually frustrated to advance to the playoffs amid the injury nightmare.
