Head coach Brian Keefe told reporters that George -- who will not play Sunday against the Timberwolves due to a left hip flexor strain -- is doing some on-court work but does not have a clear timeline for a return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
George's absence Sunday marks the fifth consecutive game he'll miss due to a hip injury. The lack of a recovery timeline is of concern, but his prolonged absence means Tre Johnson should remain in the Wizards' starting lineup for as long as the former is sidelined. As a starter in Washington's last four games, Johnson has averaged 16.0 points, 2.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 26.8 minutes per game.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Efficient in Friday's win

George logged 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 28 minutes during the Wizards' 138-117 win over the Raptors on Friday.
George scored 18 of his 23 points in the first half, 11 of which came in the second quarter.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Pours in 28 points
Rotowire
George logged 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 39 minutes of Saturday's 130-122 win over the Grizzlies.
The Wizards were down by 20 points at one point in the second quarter, only to respond with a massive rally after halftime. George continues to excel for the Wizards, and over his last four games, he's been a top-60 player in nine-category formats with 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.
George totaled nine points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.
The assists tied his season high, as George came close to his first career triple-double. The second-year wing is still searching for some consistency, but his production has taken a big step forward from his rookie campaign. Over his last 12 games, George is averaging 14.1 points, 5.7 boards, 5.5 assists, 2.5 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.3 minutes.
George posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 loss to the Hawks.
George continues to build some nice form, having now scored in double figures in three straight games. After a red-hot start to the season, his production has since ebbed and flowed, making him a frustrating fantasy asset. With that said, he remains a clear must-roster player who is capable of contributing across all major categories on any given night. Through 20 regular-season games, he has averaged 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks.

George provided 17 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Bulls.
George was held to a season-low five points on 2-of-7 shooting his last time out, so it was nice to see him bounce back with a big stat line. This was George's second double-double of the season and the third of his career, and he also notched a new career high in steals. He'll look to continue stuffing the stat sheet Tuesday against the Hawks.

Rotowire
George provided 29 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 129-106 loss to the Nets.
George certainly did his part Sunday, but it wasn't nearly enough to keep his team in the game. This was his best scoring performance since Oct. 24, when he tacked on 34 points in a 117-107 win over Dallas, and he contributed on the boards and as a passer. George is averaging 15.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists over his last five games.
