Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers was injured in the opening seconds of the third quarter of Wednesday’s game against host Memphis and taken to the locker room.
George, 34, appeared to suffer a left leg injury with 11:21 left in the third after grabbing a rebound under the Grizzlies’ basket, possibly rolling his left ankle.
He had missed the team’s first five games with a bone bruise in his left knee.
George, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid were playing together for the first time this season.
Philadelphia has lost nine of its last 10 games, including four in a row in starting the season 2-11.
The 76ers signed George, a nine-time All-Star, as a free agent in July. He has played seven games (all starts) and was averaging 16.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.4 steals in 30.6 minutes.
