A handful of thoughts and notes on today’s Sixers injury report before their matchup against the Golden State Warriors, including an interesting Joel Embiid thing that could be something and could be nothing and a good sign on Paul George’s back:

Back-to-back baskets at the rim for Paul George, who is up to 27 points. Absolutely brilliant stuff from him so far tonight. Just picked up his third foul, he’ll need to be a bit careful but will likely check out in a minute or two regardless. – 11:39 PM

De’Aaron Fox with a buzzer-beating 3 to tie the Sixers 57-57 at the half in Sacramento. Fox leads the way with 16 for the Kings, who battled back from a 14 point deficit in the first half. Paul George 20pts for Philly. – 11:10 PM

Paul George is back in the game. Seems to be all good for now. – 11:03 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Sixers call timeout with Paul George down on the baseline after a rough tumble. Walked off under his own power.
He’s up to 20 first-half points — hopefully just a brief scare – 10:53 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
The Sixers have to call timeout, as Paul George is down under the basket. After a moment on the ground, he was helped to his feet. He has 20 points in 14 minutes tonight. – 10:53 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Paul George is down and hurt after a hard fall. Joel Embiid and his teammates checking on him. – 10:52 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Paul George is down under the Sixers basket. – 10:52 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Turns out Paul George needed what most stars need to get going, just some early touches and rhythm.
Nick Nurse has to figure out how to overlay that with Embiid and Maxey. – 10:50 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
19 points is the most Paul George has scored in the last 6 games.
He’s got 18 here early in the 2nd quarter.
Another instance of the Kings being the Tylenol of the NBA. – 10:45 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Absolutely A+ shot-making from Paul George so far tonight. Just assisted on Eric Gordon’s second three of the night, too. – 10:45 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Brother, Paul George is fading out of bounds and shooting against the clock. Why are you close-lining him on the contest? – 10:39 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
14 point first quarter for Paul George.
Doing it for the name on the back.
