Paul George undergoes surgery for injury suffered in workout

Paul George suffered another injury to his left knee that troubled him much of last season.

At this point you might as well call him Procedure P.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported some unpleasant news and that is Paul George underwent arthroscopic surgery on Monday to repair an injury he sustained in an offseason workout.

This has been confirmed by the Sixers, who said the surgery was performed by Dr. Jonathan Glashow, the same surgeon who operated on Joel Embiid earlier this offseason.

With Charania saying that George will be re-evaluated at the start of training camp, it is likely we won’t know if PG will be ready for the start of the season until we get to that point. It’s also troubling to hear that the left knee is again a problem for George.

He first injured that knee in his second preseason game as a Sixer. Only a few weeks after initially injuring it, he hyperextended the knee again just games into the regular season, and had to deal with another bone bruise. That played a big part in not letting George’s first season in Philadelphia get off the ground, and it looks like that will carry over into his second season as well.

There’s really no good way to look at this, but at least the team got good injury news elsewhere. VJ Edgecombe was reportedly a full participant in summer league practice today after missing the last four games with a wrist injury. Per Ky Carlin of SixersWire, Edgecombe looked good in practice and an update for his status will be provided on Tuesday.
