Another injury that continues to linger for PG.
Hopefully he’s still not taking pain injections to play through this.
The Sixers released their injury report for Monday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers and on it was a somewhat new addition. Paul George will be questionable for that game due to groin soreness.

George scored 12 of his 17 points against the Golden State Warriors in the fourth quarter.
While it hasn’t caused him to miss a ton of games, this has been an issue bothering George as far back as January. He’s talked about wanting to get that right as well as the finger he injured around that time as well.
With Joel Embiid being shut down, Nick Nurse was asked before the Warriors game if there was any thought to shutting down both him and Tyrese Maxey as well. Nurse gave a short response though that yes, the plan is for them to remain active.
Both of them have been playing through ailments over the last handful of games as they keep trying to chase down the Chicago Bulls for the 10th seed in the East. They still remain two and a half games back.
Maxey has been playing with a right hand sprain that’s caused him to tape some of his fingers together, and the effects it’s had on his shot have been evident.
Per the ABC Broadcast- Tyrese Maxey worked with Nick Nurse at practice the week to shoot the ball with 3 fingers instead of 5 because of the hand issue he is dealing with
Maxey has 5 points and is 2-13 from the field tonight. He shot 0-10 on 3PA vs the Knicks

Even dealing with that, Maxey has not been listed on the injury report since Feb. 24 when they got smacked by the Bulls.
The rest of the team looks good to go as Guerschon Yabusele is listed as available — he missed one game to due injuries in both eyes. Kyle Lowry will miss his eighth straight game with a nagging hip injury, and Alex Reese and Jalen Hood-Schifino are out on G-League assignments.
