Paul George: Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George is set to take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night in his first face-off against his former team. After a knee injury during the preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks, George’s status was uncertain. He hyperextended his knee and later was diagnosed with a bone bruise, leading to an extended recovery that sidelined him for the preseason and the initial five games of the regular season.

Recently cleared, George made his debut with the Sixers in a close game against the Phoenix Suns, contributing 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists despite shooting struggles. Now, George is looking to shake off any lingering rust as he faces his former Clippers teammates. His performance tonight will be key for the Sixers, especially with the emotional weight of returning to Los Angeles.

With George ready to go, fans can expect a spirited matchup as he plays before a crowd of former supporters and prepares to show his impact with the Sixers. The game tips off at 10 PM ET, marking a significant moment for George in what is expected to be a heated and closely-watched battle.
