George was ruled out for the rest of the game with a left knee hyperextension, the same knee he hyperextended in the preseason. He was previously diagnosed with a bone bruise that caused him to miss the first five games of the season.

The nine-time All-Star was struggling in the game. He was just 1-of-6 for two points. George has flashed at times, but he seems to be really struggling to find his shooting rhythm so far this season.

Tyrese Maxey, who missed the last six games with a hamstring strain, made his return. It was odd that he played the first five minutes of the game and then didn’t play the rest of the first half. Nick Nurse did tell reporters pregame that Maxey would be on a heavy minutes restriction, but that was an interesting approach.

The Sixers will return home from this three-game road-trip and host the Brooklyn Nets Friday. It’s still early, but they have to start stringing some wins together soon. We’ll keep you posted as more updates on George become available.
