76ers Forward Paul George Will Miss The Rest Of The Season To Recover From His Injuries

Paul George will miss the rest of the season to recover from his injuries, ending a difficult first year in Philadelphia for the nine-time All-Star.

The 76ers announced Monday that George had received injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee, following consultations with specialists.

"Following the procedure, George is medically unable to play and will be out for at least six weeks," the team said in its statement .

Philadelphia carried a 23-44 record into Monday night's game at Houston. Its last game of the regular season is on April 13.

George, who turns 35 on May 2, signed a 212 million, four-year contract in free agency last summer. But his first year in Philly was marred by injuries that resulted in the forward having one of the worst years of his NBA career.
