76ers' Paul George: Misses practice Friday
Rotowire
George (ankle) missed practice Friday ahead of Saturday's game against the Pacers, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
George sat out two of the last five games with an ankle injury and was seemingly rested Friday by head coach Nick Nurse, who had held him out of practice along with Kyle Lowry, KJ Martin and Guerschon Yabusele. George scored 25 or more points in three straight games for the 76ers and seems to be returning to form in that department, which is a good sign with Joel Embiid on the mend.

76ers' Paul George: Third straight 25-point effort
Rotowire
George (ankle) totaled 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the Knicks.
After missing Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with an ankle issue, George didn't miss a beat Wednesday while turning in his third consecutive game with at least 25 points. The 34-year-old forward is beginning to look like the All-Star version of himself fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing over the years, as George is averaging 22.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.7 threes while shooting 44.1 percent from beyond the arc across his last seven contests. Should former MVP Joel Embiid (foot) remain on the shelf for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers, George would continue handling additional playmaking duties for the 76ers, which would also likely translate to amplified fantasy value.

76ers' Paul George: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
George (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
George was originally probable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder before the 76ers ultimately decided to hold him and several others out of the contest. He's day-to-day, however, along with Tyrese Maxey (hand) who is also carrying a questionable tag. George could see heavy usage if he gets the green light, as Joel Embiid (foot) is set for another absence.

After being listed as probable, George has suddenly been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against Oklahoma City.

76ers' Paul George: Second straight double-double
Rotowire
George posted 20 points (10-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists and a steal during 37 minutes of play in Sunday's 102-99 loss to the Magic.
George has turned things around of late amidst what's been a disappointing start to his tenure with the 76ers, and he stayed hot during Sunday's clash with the Magic. He's played three games during Joel Embiid's (foot) current absence and has averaged 19.3 points, 10.0 boards and 5.3 assists during that span, with two of his three double-doubles on the season also coming in that stretch. With Embiid still listed as day-to-day despite missing four straight contests, it's hard to tell when he'll be ready for a return; in the interim, George's rebounding and scoring volume will likely continue to reap the benefits.

76ers' Paul George: Second double-double of season
Rotowire
George (groin) contributed 25 points (10-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 123-115 loss to the Pelicans.
Back in Philadelphia's lineup following a one-game absence with a groin injury, George logged his second double-double of the season in one of his stronger efforts in 2024-25 thus far. The star forward's numbers remain disappointing amid what has been a rocky and injury-plagued transition during his first year with the 76ers, but he's looked more comfortable since the calendar flipped to January. Through his past five outings, George is averaging 20.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.6 threes while shooting 41.9 percent from long range.

76ers' Paul George: Rough shooting performance
Rotowire
George finished with 13 points (5-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Phoenix.
George has struggled to reclaim his form as one of the best two-way players in the NBA with the 76ers. Even though he recorded two steals, grabbed five rebounds and dished out two assists in the loss to the Suns, George went 5-for-18 from the floor. The 34-year-old is currently shooting a career-low 41.4 percent from the field on the season and 33.5 percent from beyond the arc, which is the second-worst percentage of his career from deep.

76ers' Paul George: Goes for 30 points in loss
Rotowire
George accumulated 30 points (11-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Kings.
Even though the 76ers lost a tight game, George delivered a solid stat line. He recorded his second-best scoring output of the campaign, only bested by the 33-point performance he delivered in the win over the Hornets on Dec. 16. More important than that is the fact that this was a massive bounce-back effort for George. He hit the 15-point mark just once in his previous six contests before starting the new year with this strong showing.

76ers' Paul George: Records season-high five steals
Rotowire
George provided 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and five steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Jazz.
George's work on defense proved to be invaluable in the win, as his five steals offset a low shot volume. George will have to adjust to life as the third-best scoring option when Joel Embiid is active, but he's proving to be a great upgrade for Philly during his first year with the team. Injuries have been an issue this season, but he's logged nine consecutive games in the starting lineup following his last absence.

76ers' Paul George: Near double-double vs. Spurs
Rotowire
George closed with 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.
George finished Monday's game as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (32) and took on a larger role on offense after Joel Embiid was ejected in the second quarter. George has registered at least five rebounds in six straight games, and over that span he has averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals over 35.4 minutes per contest.

76ers' Paul George: Struggles in loss to Cavaliers
Rotowire
George amassed 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
George was initially deemed questionable to play in this contest before being upgraded to available, but the veteran forward didn't perform even remotely close to his best. The Sixers needed a better performance out of their star forward, particularly since Joel Embiid (knee) was out and Tyrese Maxey was largely inefficient despite scoring a team-high 27 points, but that wasn't the case. Perhaps the lone positive aspect is that George played on both legs of a back-to-back set for the first time this season. George, however, shot a combined 6-for-24 in this back-to-back set.
