Joel Embiid Out for Preseason, Paul George Shines in Debut

The Philadelphia 76ers have announced that All-Star center Joel Embiid will miss the remainder of the preseason due to ongoing concerns about his left knee. While Embiid progresses well in his recovery, the team has opted to hold him out as part of an individual treatment plan. In a recent exhibition game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Sixers fell 121-111. However, Paul George made a strong impression in his preseason debut, scoring 23 points and showcasing the offensive spark the team hopes he will provide. Despite the loss, George and teammate Tyrese Maxey demonstrated readiness for the upcoming regular season.
