I think for sure it’s a relief that they think it’s not as serious as the last time,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said of George's latest bone bruise that will keep him out the next two games.

The Sixers, who are off to a nightmarish 2-12 start this year, are teetering on the verge of a lost season in the wake of Paul George's latest knee injury.

This is the same injury George suffered in the preseason and it caused him to miss the first five games of the regular season. The Sixers will once again be relying on other pieces to step up and produce without George on the floor.
