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.

Tyrese Maxey candidly expressed how it felt to watch Paul George crouch under the basket, then head to the locker room during the 76ers’ loss to the Grizzlies. “It [stinks],” Maxey said from his locker after the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered another blow in the 2024-25 season when they lost not only the contest to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, but also Paul George to an injury. George left early in the third quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg and ended up not returning.
