Paul George undergoes surgery for sprained left knee, expected to miss 40 games in the new season

According to official news from 76ers, star player Paul George accidentally sprained his left knee during a training session, causing some ligament torn. In order to recover as soon as possible, George did not hesitate to undergo surgery. Although it is currently in the offseason, the team expects he will miss at least 40 games after the start of the new season.

Looking back on the past six seasons, George has played more than 60 games in only one season, and his attendance rate in the rest of the season is worrying; in addition, he is getting older and has previously suffered from injuries in multiple parts such as fingers, knees and ankles. Various factors are intertwined, making the player's condition quite worrying. It is worth mentioning that during last year's offseason, the 76ers provided him with a four-year maximum salary contract of US$218 million, and now it seems that this contract may become the "poison" for the team. Many fans felt sorry for this, while Clippers supporters secretly thanked that it was wise to not renew his contract with him last year. The management of

76ers are now under tremendous pressure. The signing of George would enhance the team's strength and strive for the championship, but now it has become such a dilemma. This huge contract not only limits the team's salary space, but also complicates the plans for future signings. George himself must have been very frustrated. He originally hoped to perform well in the new team, but he did not expect to suffer a heavy blow and his career prospects were cloudy.

fans spoke out about this. Some criticized his fragile physique and believed that he wasted the team's funds; some chose to support him, hoping that he could recover quickly and return to the field as soon as possible. The other teams were watching silently, glad that they did not compete for this star. At present, the 76ers can only hope that George can recover quickly and return to his previous competitive state. Otherwise, this four-year $218 million investment will eventually not be recovered, and the team's winning plan may be completely ruined.
