The Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday shared an update regarding the status of Paul George, who suffered a knee injury on Wednesday night.

George left Philly’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies with a hyperextended left knee. He suffered the injury after an opponent bumped into him while going for a rebound.

The good news is George’s injury does not seem to be too serious, for now.

The Sixers said in a press release that an MRI showed no structural damage to Paul’s knee. Additionally, the 34-year-old forward will miss two games and then be re-evaluated.

George suffered a similar left knee injury in the preseason that caused him to miss the first five games of the regular season. He has only played in 8 games so far this season and is averaging just 14.9 points per game on 38.3 percent shooting.

This is George’s first season with the 76ers after spending the last five with the Clippers. Philly has begun 2-12, which has been a nightmare start.
