Over the rest of the week while George remains on the sidelines, the Sixers will face the Raptors in Toronto on Friday, before they head to Indiana on Sunday to conclude their road trip. From there, they have an extra day of rest that’s coming surprisingly early in the season (and at a good time with George and Embiid out), as they’ll have two days off before returning home to play the Pistons next Wednesday.

We knew this George injury was nothing serious, but it’s still reassuring to hear he’s progressing well and another update is coming soon. Perhaps in a week or so, we’ll get to see George play his first regular season action in Philadelphia.
