Paul George (knee) will remain out when the Sixers play host to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, according to the team's initial injury report for the game unveiled on Monday. Joel Embiid is not listed on the report, while Jared McCain is listed as available with his thumb splint and knee brace:
George, 35, underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee after injuring it for the third time in approximately 10 months in a workout in July. After the nine-time All-Star only logged 41 appearances in his first season with the Sixers, George will now have missed at least the first 11 games of his second campaign in Philadelphia.
Dominick Barlow, who suffered an elbow laceration which has caused him to miss nine full games, was slated to meet with his surgeon on Monday.
Johni Broome suffered his ankle sprain making his NBA G League debut on Saturday afternoon and was unavailable for both legs of the Sixers' weekend back-to-back.
