PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has a bone bruise but did not suffer any structural damage when he hyperextended his left knee during a preseason game, the team said Tuesday.
“Everything checks out OK,” coach Nick Nurse told reporters at the team's New Jersey complex after George had an initial exam. The team announced later in the day that an MRI showed the bone bruise but no structural damage.
The Sixers said he would be reevaluated again in about a week.
Even before the injury, George was not scheduled to play in Wednesday's preseason game against Brooklyn.
