NBA Rumors: 76ers' Paul George Expected to Return from Knee Injury vs. Durant, Suns

Potential return of Paul George a boost for 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly expecting the return of star forward Paul George, who has been sidelined since late November with a knee injury. George is expected to make his return to the court on Thursday against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.

George's return is a major boost for the 76ers, who have struggled in his absence. The team is currently 19-16 and is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

George's injury history

George has a history of knee injuries. He missed the entire 2014-15 season with a broken leg, and he has missed significant time in each of the past two seasons with knee injuries.

However, George has also been one of the most productive players in the NBA when healthy. He is a four-time All-Star and a two-time All-NBA selection.

76ers' playoff hopes

The 76ers are hoping that George's return will help them make a playoff push. The team is currently in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, and a healthy George would give them a major boost.

The 76ers are scheduled to face the Suns on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center.
