Just when the 76ers were playing well and strengthening their on-court chemistry, the league announced that George will be suspended for 25 games. His absence likely means that Dominick Barlow, who remains on a two-way contract, will return to the starting lineup. Not having George also means the 76ers will need more production from starters VJ Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre, which could raise the fantasy ceilings of both players.

George is back on the injury report, but he should be good to go Thursday night. If he’s unable to play, the 76ers would turn to Dominick Barlow and possibly even Justin Edwards to absorb those minutes.

Considering George scored nine total points in his last game, a new season high of nine triples was the last thing anyone was expecting. It was George’s second 30-point game of the season, and it was enough to snap the 76ers’ two-game losing streak. Even though George has struggled this year, his game is so fantasy-friendly that he has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues this season. He’ll look to keep it going against the Kings on Thursday.

George was initially listed as probable, but he will suit up against Milwaukee. He sat out the first leg of the back-to-back to ensure he was available for this game. Dominick Barlow will return to playing a role off the bench.

George sat out Monday due to left knee injury management, but he’s expected to play on the second night of Philadelphia’s back-to-back set. George’s return should push Dominick Barlow back to the bench, but fantasy managers shouldn’t have been rostering Barlow. Kelly Oubre Jr. should still retain his fantasy value regardless of George’s availability.

George will sit out Monday’s game due to left knee injury management, and the change in start time may have been a factor. The game will start at 3 PM Eastern instead of 7 PM, cutting down on the time that George and Joel Embiid would have to get their bodies ready. So, both will sit. George’s absence may push Dominick Barlow back into the starting lineup, but he isn’t worth streaming. However, fantasy managers should target Kelly Oubre Jr.

George is good to go after logging 37 minutes in Thursday’s overtime victory over the Rockets. Look for his workload to remain consistent as the 76ers look to move to 3-0 against the Knicks this season.

While George’s points tally in his first game back after missing two for left knee injury maintenance, fantasy managers should focus more on the workload. He played 37 of a possible 53 minutes in the overtime victory, which is definitely a positive. And George came up with some big plays in crunch time, knocking down a three-pointer for the first points of overtime and blocking an Alperen Şengün layup attempt that would have tied the game with 1:16 remaining in the extra session.

George is available to play after a two-game absence. While he’s likely to start, fantasy managers should expect there to be a minutes restriction of some kind. Kelly Oubre Jr.'s fantasy value takes a hit with George available, but he’s worth holding onto in deeper leagues.

George has missed the 76ers’ last two games due to left knee injury management, resulting in Kelly Oubre Jr. moving into the starting lineup. Oubre should be rostered in deep leagues, and he’ll have some value in standard leagues if George remains out.

George will miss a second consecutive game, as he did not play in Monday’s win over the Pacers. Kelly Oubre Jr. was productive as the spot starter and should retain that role. Oubre is worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

George sat out Monday’s matchup with the Pacers, but he’s got a chance to return for the second leg of Philadelphia’s back-to-back set. George’s return should send Kelly Oubre Jr. back to the bench after a productive 18/1/5/2/1 line as a starter on Monday.

Monday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the 76ers, who host the Suns on Tuesday. George won’t play against the team that drafted him, but fantasy managers may be able to utilize him against Phoenix. Jared McCain is active after spending time in the G League, but he’s unlikely to get the run needed to affect fantasy basketball. Look for Kelly Oubre to benefit more from George’s absence.

Like Joel Embiid, George is on the injury report for Monday’s game for left knee injury management. With the 76ers hosting Phoenix on Tuesday, it would be unsurprising if George did not play against the team that drafted him in 2010. Kelly Oubre could move into the starting lineup if George sits.

George was initially listed as probable with left knee injury management, so his availability against the Cavaliers Friday isn’t a surprise. The 35-year-old small forward had 17 points in 30 minutes against Cleveland on Wednesday.

George is on the injury report for left knee injury management reasons, and the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Friday. He played 30 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Cavaliers and should take on a similar workload in the rematch.

While he hasn’t been the elite fantasy option he’s been in seasons past, George has continued to provide reliable category-league value. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats, aligning with his season-long production. That has exceeded George’s ADP (83). Again, he may not be the elite version that he’s been in the past, but George has been solid.

George sat out Sunday’s game against the Raptors for left knee injury management reasons. The 35-year-old small forward returned and had 15 points Monday. George will likely be available Wednesday as well given his probable listing. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks.

After being a late scratch for Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, George played 29 minutes on Monday. The nature of the game may have also been a factor in the veteran wing’s playing time, as the 76ers led by a comfortable margin for most of the night. Over the past two weeks, George has shot 41.5 percent from the field, which has been the most significant issue for his fantasy value.

George was a late scratch on Sunday, but he’s got a chance to take the court for the second leg of Philly’s back-to-back set. If George is out for a second straight game, Kelly Oubre Jr. could remain in the starting lineup. Oubre Jr. delivered 13 points, five rebounds, four steals, three swats and a triple across 34 minutes on Sunday, and he’s worth adding off the waiver wire in the hopes that he can build off of that performance.

It was a bit of a mixed bag from George against the Magic. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 18 points on 21 shots and missed all seven of his three-point attempts. George was a force on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s averaging 15.8 points per game as his shooting woes continue, but he’s provided fifth-round per game value on the season.

It had been a subpar stretch for George, but this game could help him get back on track. This matched his second-highest scoring total of the season, and it was his first time scoring at least 20 points since mid-December. George isn’t the player he once was, but he’s still more than capable of making an impact for fantasy managers.

George wasn’t a prolific scorer in Saturday’s victory, but he hit two three-pointers early in the third quarter that would help Philadelphia tighten its grip on the game. PG shot the ball relatively well and provided solid value in rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. For the season, George is providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (83). The 76ers open a four-game Week 12 on Monday against the Nuggets.

George knocked down four three-pointers but wasn’t much of a threat against his former organization as the Thunder’s athleticism and depth proved to be a mismatch for the 76ers all night. The 35-year-old veteran forward has failed to break 20 points in four consecutive games since erupting for a season-high 35 against the Hawks back on December 14.

George was initially listed as probable, so it isn’t surprising that he’ll suit up against his former team. George has shot worse than 40 percent in each of his last three appearances and will look to get back on track in this one.
