George had one of his least impactful games of the season against the Rockets. He failed to convert any of his five three-point attempts and finished with more turnovers than made field goals on the evening. As a result, the veteran forward tied a season-low in points and scored in single digits for just the fifth time all season. The Sixers will need him to bounce back on Friday against the Pacers.

George had his least productive outing since returning from suspension. While he made four of his five three-pointers, he shot just 1-of-10 from inside the arc, resulting in an inefficient night overall. However, even with the mediocre performance on Monday, George’s recent play has been encouraging, given all the time he’s missed this season. He’ll have a chance to finish the regular season strong and potentially help the Sixers avoid the Play-In Tournament.

George played both games of the 76ers’ first back-to-back since his return from suspension, logging 28 minutes in Saturday’s defeat. His production was solid, with the veteran forward shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Philadelphia’s Week 24 schedule includes another back-to-back, with George’s availability likely depending on potential playoff seeding implications.

George was initially probable, so the status upgrade was expected. With Joel Embiid sitting, the Pistons should run more of their offense through George and Tyrese Maxey.

George is probable for injury management reasons, so he should be good to go for Saturday’s matchup. It is part of Philadelphia’s first back-to-back since George returned from his 25-game suspension, so the playing time could take a slight hit. However, as long as he’s on the floor, fantasy managers will receive good value from the veteran forward.

George did not have the most efficient night, shooting 40 percent from the field and committing six turnovers. However, he did finish with a complete stat line and has scored at least 23 points in four of five games since returning from suspension. The 76ers play once more in Week 23, as they host the Pistons on Saturday. If Joel Embiid sits, the 76ers will need more scoring from George.

While Joel Embiid (illness) being out did free up additional scoring opportunities for George and the other 76ers starters, he has played consistently well since returning from his 25-game suspension. The veteran wing has scored 26 points or more in three of the four games he’s played, with Wednesday’s tally representing a new season-high. The 76ers play two more games in Week 23, which is good news for those rostering George.

After two stellar performances in his first games back from a 25-game suspension, George cooled off a bit on Monday. He shot 3-of-7 from inside the arc, a bit worse than his 47.5 percent mark from two on the season. However, the points and three-pointers were a solid start to Week 23, especially with the 76ers facing the Wizards on Wednesday. Don’t be surprised if George has a big night in that one.

George produced an excellent all-around stat line on Saturday, which was great news for those rostering him. In the two games he’s played since returning from his suspension, the 76ers’ forward has totaled 54 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, eight steals, two blocks and 10 three-pointers. Describing George as a “league-winner” is a bit strange given his career track record. However, the 25-game suspension has put him in that position since some managers dropped him in the immediate aftermath.

George came back from a 25-game suspension he received after violating the league’s anti-drug policy and had a great game in the 157-137 victory over the Bulls. The 35-year-old small forward had 28 points and six three-pointers in the blowout win. With Joel Embiid also going off for 35 points in what was his first game back from injuries, the 76ers have two stars back down the stretch of the regular season.

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.

Two days removed from his most productive game of the season, George is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Thursday night. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Dominick Barlow consigned to a bench role.

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 should remain available as he continues to manage this knee injury. He logged 37 minutes on Thursday, which was an overtime win over the Rockets. He should see at least 30 minutes against New York.

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.

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.
