Report: Paul George plans to make 76ers debut Monday against Suns, Joel Embiid remains out
Paul George set to make Philadelphia 76ers debut Monday
Paul George is set to make his Philadelphia 76ers debut Monday night against the Phoenix Suns, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. George has been sidelined since June after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Embiid questionable for Monday's game
The 76ers will be without All-Star center Joel Embiid, who is listed as questionable for Monday's game with right foot soreness. Embiid has missed the last two games with the injury.
George's return a major boost for 76ers
George's return is a major boost for the 76ers, who are currently 3-2 on the season. The seven-time All-Star averaged 23.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game last season with the Los Angeles Clippers.
76ers favored against Suns
The 76ers are favored by 7.5 points over the Suns on Monday night. The Suns are 2-3 on the season, with their only wins coming against the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings.
Embiid's absence a concern for 76ers
Embiid's absence is a concern for the 76ers, as he is their leading scorer and rebounder. However, the 76ers have a deep roster, and they should be able to compete with the Suns even without Embiid.
George's debut will be closely watched
George's debut will be closely watched by NBA fans and analysts alike. He is one of the best players in the league, and his return should make the 76ers a contender in the Eastern Conference.
