The team are yet to disclose the specific issue that necessitated the surgery.
George's latest health setback is a significant concern for both team management and fans. He joined the team last summer on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract, but missed 41 games due to various injuries.
This limited him to just 16.2 points per game – his lowest average since his rookie season with the Indiana Pacers in 2010-11. George has a career average of 20.6 points per game.
