Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee Monday to treat an injury suffered during a recent workout, a team official told ESPN.
George will now begin a rehab program and be reevaluated prior to the start of training camp.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow on Monday at the NYU -- Langone Sports Medicine Orthopedic Center.
George, 35, has dealt with a variety of injury issues in recent years and was limited to just 41 games last season while dealing with groin, finger and knee ailments. He averaged just 16.2 points -- his lowest total in a decade by more than five points -- before his season ended in March after receiving injections in both his left adductor muscle and left knee.
A nine-time All-Star, George is entering the second year of a four-year, $212 million contract he signed with Philadelphia last summer.
