George said it's important to keep fighting with 43 regular-season games remaining: “To me, it means something. Obviously, coming to Philadelphia, it meant something."
Philadelphia has provided a Paul George injury update after he was forced to leave the Sixers win against Chicago with a jammed pinky finger.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George exited in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center and did not return after injuring his left pinky finger, finishing his night with nine points in 13 minutes of action.
Paul George missed Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers with a finger injury and is considered day-to-day.
How have the Sixers found their groove over the last week? Their point guard and head coach have made much-needed changes.
The 76ers say Paul George suffered tendon damage to the pinkie finger on his non-shooting left hand and will be reevaluated Wednesday.
With the Philadelphia 76ers trailing the Sacramento Kings 80-68 in the third quarter, coach Nick Nurse turned to a 3-guard lineup. Nurse has been favoring the combination of Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson off the bench as of late and turned to the two proven veterans on Wednesday to join Tyrese Maxey out on the floor.
With their hard-earned victory on Wednesday, a 117-104 triumph over the Sacramento Kings, the Sixers are suddenly winners of four straight games and will likely finish the night tied for a Play-In Tournament spot in the Eastern Conference.
Sacramento lost, 117-104, at the Wells Fargo Center, against a 76ers team missing former MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Paul George, and that was also playing on the back end of a back-to-back.
