76ers' Paul George: Participates in shootaround
Rotowire
George (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers, participated in the 76ers' morning shootaround, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
George is in jeopardy of missing his second game in December as the team continues to manage his availability due to left knee injury recovery, though his presence at shootaround bodes well for his chances of suiting up. If the veteran forward is ultimately ruled out, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards and Jabari Walker are candidates for an uptick in minutes. Across seven regular-season appearances thus far, George has averaged 14.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET.

76ers' Paul George: Drops 20 points against MIL
Rotowire
George generated 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 30 minutes of Friday's 116-101 win over the Bucks.
George played a season-high 30 minutes, surpassing his previous high of 25. It's a solid indication he's getting closer to full health after missing the first few weeks of the regular season recovering from offseason knee surgery. The 35-year-old has played in just seven games this season, and Friday's contest marked his second time hitting the 20-point milestone. He tied his previous high in assists and didn't log a turnover for the first time all year.

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.

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.

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.

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.
