76ers' Paul George: Supplies full stat line Friday
Rotowire
George chipped in 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers.
George supplied a full stat line for the 76ers on Friday, but he didn't step up much in the scoring column despite Joel Embiid (face) exiting in the first half. Across his past five outings, the 34-year-old star forward is averaging 17.6 points, 5.2 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers per game. George is still getting his legs back under him following several sporadic absences to begin the season, and fantasy managers should expect him to take on additional ball-handling responsibilities if Embiid remains sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Hornets.

Rotowire
George closed with a team-high 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 102-94 win over Orlando.
The veteran forward just missed recording his second double-double of the campaign. George continues to be brought along carefully after dealing with two separate injuries to his left knee early in the season, but he appeared to be just about 100 percent Friday. His numbers through 11 appearances are down from his usual levels, but over his last two games, George is averaging 25.0 points, 8.5 assists, 4.0 threes, 3.0 boards and 1.5 steals while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (8-for-16) from beyond the arc.

76ers' Paul George: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
George will not play Wednesday against the Magic due to left knee injury recovery, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
George's absence comes as little surprise, as he's yet to be cleared to play in both games of back-to-back sets yet this season. During Tuesday's 110-104 victory over the Hornets, George produced 29 points (10-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 37 minutes. He thus looks like he won't be facing any restrictions with his playing time when he returns to action for Friday's rematch with the Magic.

76ers' Paul George: Scores 11 points in return
Rotowire
George (knee) recorded 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over the Pistons.
Back in the lineup for the first time since Nov. 20 following a three-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise, George had a poor shooting performance but was still able to post a well-rounded stat line. George has already missed nine of the Sixers' 18 games this season, and at this stage, the priority is to have him as available as possible for a long stretch. The fantasy production should come as long as he remains healthy, though the 76ers could monitor his minutes carefully in his first few games back from the knee issue.

Rotowire

76ers' Paul George: Injures knee, won't return
Rotowire
George has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee hyperextension, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports. He recorded two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes before exiting the game.
George exited the game after landing awkwardly early in the third quarter before the 76ers ruled him out for the remainder of the contest. The 34-year-old missed the first five games of the 2024-25 campaign with a bone bruise in the same knee. Per Jones, George will undergo an MRI on Thursday, when the 76ers will learn more information about the severity of the injury while also having a clearer idea on a timeline for his recovery. His potential absence could open up more minutes on the wing for Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre, Ricky Council and Jared McCain.

76ers' Paul George: Still struggling with shot
Rotowire
George totaled 18 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat.
While his overall production was solid, George once again had trouble getting his shot to fall. In his first seven games with Philly since getting past a knee issue, the 34-year-old is shooting just 39.6 percent from the floor and 28.8 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 16.7 points, 5.6 boards, 5.1 assists, 2.4 steals and 2.1 threes. The Sixers have yet to feature their new Big Three of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and George on the court at the same time, so it could be a while before the newest member of the trio finds his comfort level.

76ers' Paul George: Pops for 29 in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
George supplied a game-high 29 points (10-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks.
Joel Embiid made his season debut for the Sixers on Tuesday, but it was George who led the team in scoring and rebounding.

Through five contests, the 34-year-old is averaging 17.2 points and 2.2 threes while shooting 42.5 percent from the floor and 30.6 percent from beyond the arc, but he's added 5.8 boards, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals a game.
