Paul George Out for 76ers with Left Groin Tightness
Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers is dealing with left groin tightness. He will not play in the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on January 8th, 2025. This injury comes after previous issues with his knee earlier in the season.
What It Means
This absence is significant for the 76ers as Paul George has been a key player. He averages 16.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game this season. His shooting percentages are at 41.4% from the field and 33.5% from three-point range.
The team may look to Kenyon Martin Jr., who plays behind George, to fill in during his absence. Martin Jr. averages 20 minutes per game and scores an average of 6.4 points per game. The team will need others to step up while George recovers.
