Kyle Korver’s summer progress took a step backward when he suffered a left MCL sprain in workouts on Monday, July 5. The forward will not be playing with the team in Minnesota and will begin rehab immediately.
The injury happened when Alhaji Mohammed was going down the lane and Korver came over to defend. The two players bumped knees with Korver getting the worst of it. Korver stretched and jumped afterward but the Sixers pulled him off the floor to get his knee examined.
“You are concerned any time, anybody gets hurt,” Head Coach Jim O’Brien said after the workout. “I don’t think it is a dramatic injury, but it is on the inside of the knee. Best case scenario he could have played at the end of the week, but we are not going to do that to him.”
76ers President and General Manager Billy King was disappointed for Korver.
“I am disappointed for him because he has worked so hard for this summer league. That’s one thing when he first came back, he was so excited to play summer league,” King said. “And watching him play here in these couple of practices, he has improved tremendously from last year.”
The Sixers will not replace Korver’s spot and traveled with 11 players to Minnesota.

Definitely dissapointing, after hearing how hard Korver worked in the offseason to improved his game, I wanted to see how far he actually came. Well, at least it's not a severe injury, I guess we'll be able to see him get his play in during pre-season.
