Paul George News: Cleared to play Friday

George (ankle) is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Nets on Friday.

George missed the first portion of the regular season due to a knee injury, but he has recently been dealing with a sprained right ankle that caused him to sit out of the 76ers' loss to the Magic on Tuesday. The All-Star forward has been cleared to play Friday after going through pregame warmups, and his return will send Justin Edwards back to the bench.
