Philadelphia is the hardest team to project in next season’s Eastern Conference. If healthy, they are legit title contenders — but “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Paul George has had offseason knee surgery.

Joel Embiid underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in April. The former MVP has been dealing with a knee injury over the past two years, with this being his second surgery in the last twelve months. The Sixers likely hope the procedure puts an end to their star player’s struggles.
