George (knee) will not play Thursday against the Warriors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
George was previously considered questionable, but the 76ers will hold him out for the front end of this back-to-back set. Presumably, George will be good to go for Friday's game against the Bucks unless there's been a setback in his recovery.

76ers' Paul George: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
George (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back set, and George is cleared to play in just one of those based on previous reporting. Therefore, it remains to be seen if he'll suit up Thursday or Friday against the Bucks.

76ers' Paul George: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
George (knee/back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
George will shed his questionable tag due to left knee and back issues and suit up in his third straight game. In five outings so far this season, the veteran forward has averaged 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.0 steals across 23.0 minutes per game. He has shot just 41.4 percent from the field and 31.0 percent from beyond the arc thus far.

76ers' Paul George: Goes through shootaround
Rotowire
George (knee, back) was able to participate in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
George is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a couple of injuries, but he was wearing a starter's practice jersey, and it sounds like he may be closer to probable. In his previous outing against the Hawks, George produced 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and five steals in 28 minutes.

76ers' Paul George: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
George is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to low back tightness and left knee injury recovery.
The 76ers are scheduled for a matchup with the 2-16 Wizards, so the 35-year-old vet may opt for a rest day with his back tightening up on him. We'll have a better idea of George's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he can't give it a go, that would open up minutes for Quentin Grimes and Justin Edwards.

76ers' Paul George: Scores 16 points, adds five steals
Rotowire
George had 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to Atlanta.
George didn't have his best shooting percentage, making 35.2 percent of his shots and 25 percent of his treys, but he made an impact in other areas. The five steals were a season high for the veteran forward, who logged a season-high 28 minutes in this double-overtime loss. George should remain in the starting lineup as long as he stays healthy. Even though he won't be the stat-filling machine he was during his prime years, he's still a serviceable player in most fantasy formats due to his ability to contribute in multiple categories with ease. Through five games this season, he's averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per contest.

76ers' Paul George: GTD Friday
Rotowire
George (ankle) remains questionable and will go through pregame warmups before a decision is made on his availability for Friday's game against Brooklyn, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
George spent the first few weeks of the season on the shelf with a knee injury, and he's been dealing with a sprained right ankle recently. He missed Tuesday's loss to Orlando due to the new injury and is at risk of missing another contest Friday. With the 76ers already down several players, Dominick Barlow, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards would see expanded roles if George is sidelined.

76ers' Paul George: Nets 14 points with two steals
Rotowire
George totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 115-103 win over the Nets.
George got off to a hot start in this one, scoring all 14 of his points in his first 14 minutes of play, but with the 76ers dominating the matchup, he took a backseat on offense through the second half. Tyrese Maxey finished with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one turnover across 42 minutes in the easy win.

Rotowire
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.

George (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
George appears on the injury report with a right ankle sprain but is likely to suit up Tuesday. The veteran has logged three appearances this season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in just 22.0 minutes per game as the 76ers carefully manage his workload during his ramp-up to full minutes.

Rotowire
George amassed 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime victory over the Bucks.
George saw a slight uptick in minutes compared to his season debut and posted a better output overall, as this was his first game with at least 20 points. George's availability will be decided on a game-to-game basis, but if he stays healthy, the veteran forward should be a reliable weapon on offense.

76ers' Paul George: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
George (knee) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
After sitting out Wednesday's game against Toronto, George is all set to return to action Thursday. The star forward logged 21 minutes during his season debut in Monday's 110-108 win over the Clippers, and he'll be aiming to further ramp up his workload against Milwaukee.

76ers' Paul George: Logs 21 minutes in return
Rotowire
George (knee) provided nine points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Monday's 110-108 win over the Clippers.
George played his first game of the season following his July 14 arthroscopic left knee surgery, contributing on both ends of the floor while handling a limited minutes count. Despite his rough shooting performance from both the field and free-throw line, George was able to compensate for his offensive struggles by making an impact on the defensive end. While the 76ers will likely ramp him up slowly and hold him out of one half of back-to-back sets, George is still deserving of a roster spot in just about every fantasy format.

76ers' Paul George: Will make season debut Monday
Rotowire
George (knee) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Clippers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
George will make his long-awaited season debut Monday after missing the first few weeks of the regular season while recovering from offseason left knee surgery. The nine-time All-Star will be on a minutes restriction, per Tony Jones of The Athletic, though head coach Nick Nurse did not specify a number. George's return is likely to cut into the minutes of Quentin Grimes, Trendon Watford and, once healthy, Kelly Oubre (knee).

Rotowire
George (knee) is expected to make his season debut in Monday's game against the Clippers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After missing all of the preseason and the first few weeks of the regular season, George finally appears ready to take the court following offseason knee surgery. It's possible the 76ers will limit the star forward's minutes during his first couple of games back in action. George's imminent return should negatively impact the playing time of the likes of Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and eventually Kelly Oubre (knee).
