At this point you might as well call him Procedure P.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported some unpleasant news and that is Paul George underwent arthroscopic surgery on Monday to repair an injury he sustained in an offseason workout.
Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee Monday to treat an injury suffered during a recent workout, a team official tells ESPN. George will now begin a rehab program and be re-evaluated prior to start of training camp.

This has been confirmed by the Sixers, who said the surgery was performed by Dr. Jonathan Glashow, the same surgeon who operated on Joel Embiid earlier this offseason.
With Charania saying that George will be re-evaluated at the start of training camp, it is likely we won’t know if PG will be ready for the start of the season until we get to that point. It’s also troubling to hear that the left knee is again a problem for George.
He first injured that knee in his second preseason game as a Sixer. Only a few weeks after initially injuring it, he hyperextended the knee again just games into the regular season, and had to deal with another bone bruise. That played a big part in not letting George’s first season in Philadelphia get off the ground, and it looks like that will carry over into his second season as well.
There’s really no good way to look at this, but at least the team got good injury news elsewhere. VJ Edgecombe was reportedly a full participant in summer league practice today after missing the last four games with a wrist injury. Per Ky Carlin of SixersWire, Edgecombe looked good in practice and an update for his status will be provided on Tuesday.
Summer league coach TJ DiLeo on VJ Edgecombe at practice today: “He looked great today. He had a good day. The stuff we saw in the first game.“
