George finished Wednesday's 117-111 overtime loss to San Antonio with 31 points (11-27 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes.
George carried a substantial offensive workload, leading Utah in scoring while knocking down five three-pointers. Although he struggled with efficiency inside the arc and committed five turnovers, his willingness to shoulder significant scoring responsibilities remains promising for fantasy managers. His combination of scoring volume and perimeter shooting gives him considerable upside.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Flirts with triple-double in loss
Rotowire
George totaled 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
George fell just one rebound shy of nabbing his first career triple-double, and he's now dished out 10 assists in back-to-back games. However, he's also committed 12 turnovers over that two-game stretch, which is a bit excessive. He'll look to get the turnovers under control in Monday's meeting with Memphis.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
George accumulated 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 120-119 win over New Orleans.
The points and dimes were nice, but George also committed a game-high six turnovers and missed two of his free throw attempts. Through the first two games of the season, George is shooting 61.5 percent at the charity stripe, but that number will assuredly improve for the 85.4 percent career free-throw shooter.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Strikes for 22 points in loss
Rotowire
George tallied 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 123-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
George delivered an efficient shooting performance from beyond the arc, though it wasn't enough to help the Jazz secure a win in their regular-season opener. The 22-year-old point guard also led Utah in assists, finishing as the only Utah player to dish out more than three dimes. George is coming off a career year in 2025-26, and he should remain one of the team's top offensive options despite the addition of Darryn Peterson.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Solid marks in preseason win
Rotowire
George closed with 13 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.
George fared well in his limited action, finishing as one of seven Jazz players to score in double figures. After failing to record a steal in his first two preseason appearances, the 22-year-old made his presence felt defensively with three swipes Monday. George will look to take another step forward during the 2026-27 campaign after breaking out with averages of 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 54 games last season.

George produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over the Nuggets.
George briefly exited the game after getting whacked in the face, but he returned a short while later and didn't seem any worse for the wear. George will look to take another step forward in Year 4 after breaking out with averages of 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 2.5 triples and 1.1 steals per game last season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Agrees to massive extension
Rotowire
George and the Jazz agreed to a five-year, $157.5 million contract extension Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The writing was on the wall for this move a long time ago, as there was a lot of mutual interest to get this done quickly. George averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest during the 2025-26 regular season, and moving forward he'll get to play alongside No. 2 overall pick Darryn Peterson in a new-look backcourt.

Jazz's Keyonte George: New backcourt partner coming
Rotowire
The Jazz selected Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, adding another high-level creator to their backcourt that already includes George (hamstring).
George remains an important piece of Utah's rebuilding effort, but Peterson's arrival could reduce his on-ball responsibilities after he served as one of the team's primary playmakers last season. The additional talent should improve the quality of George's opportunities, though his fantasy value may become more dependent on efficiency than volume. The Jazz are also projected to be much more competitive in 2026-27, bolstering their late-season outlook.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play in finale
Rotowire
George (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers.
A hamstring injury caused George to miss 15 consecutive games to end the campaign. However, it was an excellent third season for the talented guard, as he averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Still out for Tuesday
Rotowire
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
George hasn't played since March 11 due to a right hamstring strain and will remain on the inactive list Tuesday. The Jazz have only two regular-season games remaining after Tuesday, so it wouldn't be surprising if the 22-year-old point guard doesn't return this season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Remains out for Wednesday
Rotowire
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
George hasn't played since March 11 due to a right hamstring strain and remains without a clear timetable for a return. The 22-year-old point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Jazz provide an update on his progress. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) out and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) questionable, Bez Mbeng could see a significant bump in minutes against Denver.

George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

The 22-year-old point guard is without a clear timetable for a return and should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Jazz offer an update on his progress.

Rotowire
George has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and will be reassessed in two weeks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
George went down with a hamstring injury during Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and it'll cost him at least another two weeks. Isaiah Collier figures to hold down the starting point guard job until George returns to health.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland.
George suffered a right hamstring strain during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, so it's not surprising at all to see him hit the sidelines for Thursday's game. Given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries, partnered with Utah's desire to try and keep their top-8 protected pick in the upcoming draft, this is something that could turn into a multi-game absence for George. Isaiah Collier will be the primary beneficiary while George is out.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Leaves early with hamstring injury
Rotowire
George has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right hamstring injury. He recorded 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes prior to departing.
George checked out of the game with 5:47 left in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the contest. Though the severity of George's injury won't be known until he undergoes further testing, even mild hamstring strains often result in multi-game absences for players. With that in mind, George should be viewed as unlikely to play in Utah's next contest Friday in Portland. Isaiah Collier would be the next man up to start at point guard if George misses time.

George went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Knicks with an apparent hamstring injury, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
George went to block a shot by Karl-Anthony Towns and immediately grabbed at his hamstring area before departing the contest. While he's sidelined, look for Isaiah Collier to take over point guard duties, while Elijah Harkless could see some additional playing time.

Rotowire
George (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
George has an illness and is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
George was a very late addition to the injury report, which is an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. Additionally, Isaiah Collier (illness) is also questionable. If the Jazz err on the side of caution, more minutes could be available for Elijah Harkless and Cody Williams.
