Paul George has yet to suit up a game in the regular season for his new team in the 2024-25 NBA campaign. But the wait for his Sixers debut could be coming to an end, with Shams Charania of ESPN reporting of the great possibility that the nine-time NBA All-Star is expected to see action at last this Monday when Philly takes on the Phoenix Suns for the start of a three-game West Coast road trip.
“Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George is expected to make his season debut on Monday vs. the Phoenix Suns, barring any setbacks, sources tell ESPN,” Charania posted on X (the social media platform formerly Twitter).
A bounce bruise has sidelined George but now that he’s on his way back to the court, his presence should add flavor to the 76ers’ upcoming matchup against his former team.
“George is set to make his comeback on Monday from a bone bruise in left knee on Oct. 14. 76ers then play the Clippers on Wednesday in George’s return to Los Angeles,” Charania added.
