Paul George Making Progress, Remains Out Until Second Round
Paul George (knee) said during shootaround that he has made huge progress so far, but his injury is a six-week process and he won't suit up until he feels good at the end of that period. The 32-year-old hasn't played since March 21, so that six-week time frame would be around the first or second week of May. Currently, the Clippers are down 3-1 in their first-round series and won't have Kawhi Leonard (knee) either for a potential series-losing game. So, at this rate, it seems like we won't be seeing George until next season.

Paul George Shut Down For Rest Of Season
Paul George (groin, knee) will not return to the court during the 2024-25 season. Sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania that George has been ruled out for the rest of the season after receiving injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday. This means that George finishes his debut campaign in Philadelphia with only 41 appearances. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes. George, who will turn 35 on May 2, signed a four-year max contract worth $212 million with the 76ers last summer. This has proven to be a terrible deal for the 76ers, who are on track to finish a season with fewer than 30 wins for the first time since 2016-17.

Paul George Ruled Out For Friday
Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. George has missed four games in a row and is set to miss his fifth game. The injury report notes that George's absence is due to groin soreness, and the Philadelphia 76ers have not placed a timeline on George's return yet. George, who signed a four-year, $212 million max deal with the Philadelphia 76ers after five seasons with the LA Clippers, is averaging only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 41 games.

Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
Paul George (groin) is consulting with doctors on treatment options for his groin and knee injuries. A decision will be made on whether he'll need a procedure to address either injury. George has missed four consecutive contests dealing with the nagging injuries. He will likely be out of action against Indiana on Friday and Sunday in Dallas as a treatment plan for the 34-year-old will be decided upon next week. With just over a month left in the season, George could very well be shut down since the Sixers don't have much riding on the rest of the season.
