Paul George to make 76ers debut against Suns

The Philadelphia 76ers will get much needed help as offseason acquisition Paul George, recently upgraded to questionable, is expected to play Monday against the Suns, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

ANALYSIS: The Sixers entered the season with high hopes with George in the fold but an injury in the preseason hindered them from having a full takeoff. Philadelphia have started off 1-4, largely missing stars Joel Embiid (left knee management) and Paul George (left knee bone bruise). 

The 34-year-old forward, who signed with the 76ers in July, boasts career averages of 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. With six All-NBA selections and four All-Defensive nods, George is set to join Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, offering a critical boost in Philadelphia's Eastern Conference campaign.
