NBA fans react to 76ers Paul George injury update

On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 117-111.

However, the bigger concern was that Paul George left the game with a injury.

The 76ers have now announced that George will miss the next two games.

Via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps: “Paul George will miss the next two games after an MRI showed no structural damage to his left knee, causing him to miss tomorrow’s game against Brooklyn and Sunday’s game against the Clippers. He will be reevaluated on Monday.

Philly’s next game after that is Wednesday against Houston.”

Many fans reacted to the news.

@jay_dubs92: “I can’t believe we’re already here, but are you shutting them down and tanking them for Coop right now?”

@qshironalberti3: “He might need a knee brace for the rest of the season. However, I am thinking about how to prevent it from happening again”

@30problemz: “Sixers can’t catch a break”

@HabibiCapital_: “I didn’t have the 76ers as the worst team in NBA 14 games on my bingo card”

@PrizePicks: “Sixers could be cooked”

@GameInjuryDoc: “Best case scenario and often happens with hyperextension injuries. The time for bone damage can vary enormously

I won’t be shocked if this is a recovery time of at least two weeks”
