Paul George , the nine-time NBA All-Star who joined Philadelphia as a free-agent in the off-season, hyper-extended his left knee in a pre-season victory over the Atlanta Hawks, the team said Monday.George was guarding Atlanta's Jalen Johnson in the first half when he appeared to plant his leg awkwardly.He played no further part after having scored eight points on three-of-five shooting with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in just over 12 minutes on court.
"George's injury comes a day after Philadelphia announced that star big man Joel Embiid wouldn't play in any pre-season games as part of the management plan for his surgically repaired left knee.Embiid played in just 39 games last season because of a torn lateral meniscus, returning after surgery with seven games left in the regular season.He was still wearing a knee brace when he helped the United States win gold at the Paris Olympics.
