Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers wasn’t looking like his normal self on Wednesday night, scoring only two points and going 1-of-7 from the field in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
Following the disappointing defeat, George opened up to Philly Voice about the injury that has been bothering him and holding him back.
He revealed that he’s dealing with an extensor tendon injury in his left pinky finger.
George explained how this is affecting his game.
“It’s tough. The pain pretty much went down, but little things like ball-handling, catching it, going left at moments. Like there’s a couple plays tonight where it bobbled a bit because I got to essentially play like this all game. So, you know, it’s frustrating, but it is what it is,” George said, per NBACentral.

Injuries haven’t been kind to George this season, which is true for the rest of his team.
He is averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game this season.
Last year, his final season with the Los Angeles Clippers, he was putting up 22.6 points per game.
The Sixers needed more out of George during Wednesday’s game, but he wasn’t able to deliver.
They were already without Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey and hoped to see George lead the squad and easily move them past the Nets.
Instead, they were taken down 100-96.
George obviously has to heal, and hopefully, he can take the All-Star break to get better.
The 76ers cannot catch a break with injuries, and it seems like the bad news never ends for them.
How long until George is at 100 percent again, and will he be able to help his team climb higher in the standings?
