Heading into their Tuesday night matchup against the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers had doctors in the building to evaluate two of their stars, Paul George and Joel Embiid.

Before the game tipped off, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse made it clear that the team wouldn’t have an official update on both players until after the matchup.

Shortly after the Sixers squeezed by the Celtics with a 102-100 loss, the Sixers issued an official update on George.

“Paul George is in the final stage of his return to play plan involves the continued strengthening of his left quadricep, which will be managed through a strength and conditioning program and on-court basketball activities,” a team official said. “He will be re-evaluated later this week.”
