George's final decision is expected to be made early next week, a source confirmed. The Sixers star has been hampered by left groin soreness, right ankle soreness and a torn tendon in his left pinkie.

With the 76ers tanking to keep their top-six protected draft pick, it would be a shock if we see George again this season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George, who hasn't played since March 4, could potentially have surgery after consulting with doctors this week about his knee and groin, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Thursday.
