The preseason hasn’t been positive for the Philadelphia 76ers as they are already dealing with injuries to their two superstars, Joel Embiid and Paul George.

Embiid was ruled out of preseason play as he recovers from a knee injury he suffered last season, a troubling sign for a star who can’t seem to stay healthy.

George saw his preseason cut short when he injured his leg on a routine defensive play.

It looked bad on film as his leg appeared to get stuck as he was trying to run, and he was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee.

George has an extensive injury history, so for him to get hurt before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season is concerning, to say the least.

However, he recently gave a positive update and said he doesn’t expect to miss too much time.

“I’m good,” George said, via “Podcast P.” “It was a normal play that I’ve made so many times of a guy dribbling across, I reach, poke the ball free, and I guess my leg just kind of got stuck. My knee locked up, my leg locked up, and when I went to go push off, all my momentum is going forward and my leg just went inwards.”

George later goes on to say that he’ll be fine long term.

That is great news, though expect the 76ers to be cautious with him once he’s cleared to return to play.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
