76ers reporter questioned: Paul George has another left knee arthroscopy

On July 23, the NBA 76ers team reporter posted a message: I am questioning the recent announcement that forward star Paul George has had another left knee arthroscopy surgery. After all, he had completely undergone a left knee ligament surgery before the end of the season and had just passed a long period of recovery. This time, he suddenly chose to undergo left knee surgery treatment, which may affect his entire future career and it is difficult to return to his peak moment! The Philadelphia 76ers management is obviously very passive at the moment. Their future is firmly tied to two stars, Joel Embiid and Paul George. They both have large maximum salary contracts. The former has just chosen surgery again in the offseason, while the latter also chose another surgery. Paul George's left knee arthroscopy is more critical. Repeated knee injuries have completely lost the intensity and explosiveness of the game. It may be difficult for him to usher in the highlights in the new season or in the next season.

Paul George and the 76ers just signed a four-year, $212 million maximum salary contract last season. There are three years left in the future, and they are all fully guaranteed contracts. The salary for the 2025-2026 season is US$51.67 million, the salary for the 2026-2027 season is US$54.12 million, the salary for the 2027-2028 season is US$56.58 million, and there are also player options this season. At this time, Paul George is already an elderly player. Paul George's heavy contract and the hidden dangers of injuries will become a burden that the 76ers cannot get rid of in the future. Since joining the 76ers, he has been in repeated injuries and has participated in only 41 games in the regular season. It is reported that some senior executives of the 76ers even suspected that the Clippers did not provide Paul George with contract renewal because they knew about the serious hidden dangers of injury, and Philadelphia did not pay enough attention!
