On Wednesday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 117-111.

However, the bigger concern was the fact that Paul George left the game with an injury.

The 76ers have now announced that George will miss the next two games.

Via ESPN's Tim Bontemps: "Paul George will miss the next two games after an MRI showed no structural damage in his left knee, causing him to miss tomorrow’s game against Brooklyn and Sunday’s against the Clippers. He’ll be re-evaluated Monday.

Philly’s next game after that is Wednesday against Houston."

@GameInjuryDoc: "Best case scenario and often happens with hyperextension injuries. Bone injury timelines can vary tremendously

Wont be shocked if this is a two week recovery time at the least"
