The Sixers, who are off to a nightmarish 2-12 start this year, are teetering on the verge of a lost season in the wake of Paul George's latest knee injury.

Embiid and Maxey became arguably the NBA’s most dangerous offensive tandem last season. The Sixers likely need a return to form from the duo.

This is the same injury George suffered in the preseason and it caused him to miss the first five games of the regular season. The Sixers will once again be relying on other pieces to step up and produce without George on the floor.
