The Sixers, who are off to a nightmarish 2-12 start this year, are teetering on the verge of a lost season in the wake of Paul George's latest knee injury.

Embiid and Maxey became arguably the NBA’s most dangerous offensive tandem last season. The Sixers likely need a return to form from the duo.

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered another blow in the 2024-25 season when they lost not only the contest to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, but also Paul George to an injury. George left early in the third quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg and ended up not returning.
