According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, forward Paul George may miss Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran had 29 points in Tuesday's NBA Cup victory over the Charlotte Hornets. He also logged 37 minutes, so the team may play it safe by sitting him in the second game of a back-to-back. With Joel Embiid (knee, personal) likely to remain off the floor, Tyrese Maxey could receive significantly more scoring opportunities. Jared McCain may also move back to the starting lineup and should also see an uptick in fantasy production.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Detroit. The nine-time All-Star has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of tip-off. George adds much-needed quality to the 3-14 Sixers, who have struggled to kick into gear. So far this season, George has been limited to eight appearances with his new squad, averaging 14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.3 steals in 28.9 minutes. With Joel Embiid (knee, personal) on the shelf, George will be expected to lead the 76ers offense with Tyrese Maxey. George's return pushes Jared McCain to the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons. The 34-year-old hyperextended his left knee in the November 20 matchup versus the Memphis Grizzlies and has missed the last three games. He practiced in full on Friday. However, this is George's second time dealing with this issue, so the team will likely continue taking the cautious approach to avoid further injury. With Joel Embiid (knee, personal) out again, Tyrese Max should lead the way offensively if George can't suit up. Jared McCain, averaging 23.7 points in seven starts this season, could also continue to benefit if George is unavailable.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is still working his way back from hyperextending his knee again. The nine-time All-Star was a full participant at practice on Friday, according to Tim Bontemps, but he hasn't been fully cleared for their Saturday game against the Detroit Pistons yet. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for a clearer picture which will likely come out on Saturday. If he can't play, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Ricky Council IV should see more opportunities if Caleb Martin (back) also can't suit up.

Per NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will be unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Houston Rockets due to a knee bone bruise. George partially participated in practice, which means he will likely return soon. He could return on Saturday versus the Pistons. With George still sidelined, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon will likely see their roles increase.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will miss at least the next two games. The veteran suffered a bone bruise in Wednesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, ending his night after only 17 minutes of work. He will be re-evaluated on Monday. Luckily, an MRI on Thursday revealed no structural damage. With that in mind, fantasy managers could see him out longer than two games, considering he injured the same knee during the preseason. But as long as George is on the shelf, Kelly Oubre Jr., averaging 14.6 points and 4.7 boards in 11 starts this season, should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) exited Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies and did not return to the Sixers' 117-111 loss. George hyperextended his left knee, the same one he injured during the preseason. As of now, there have been no further comments from the team on the severity of George's injury, but fantasy managers should prepare for the 34-year-old to miss some time. In his absence, expect Kelly Oubre Jr. to be inserted back into the starting lineup. Oubre has averaged 13.4 points this season, though he averaged 18 PPG during the first five games of the season when George was out. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on George's status going forward and should snag Oubre off the waiver wire if possible.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) isn't available for Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. The veteran scored a game-high 29 points in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, adding 10 rebounds, three steals, and one block. However, he missed the start of the 2024-25 campaign because of a knee injury, so he'll take the night off before likely getting back in the lineup on Friday versus the Orlando Magic. With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Joel Embiid (knee) also out, Kelly Oubre Jr. Caleb Martin, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jared McCain could all see a substantial increase in fantasy production.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is expected to play in Monday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. The 34-year-old has yet to debut with his new club. Fortunately, George appears ready to get back on the floor. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists last season with the Clippers. Under normal circumstances, Paul would be considered a lock for fantasy lineups. While that is still true in most cases, he could see fewer minutes than usual versus the Suns. However, George should still get enough work to lower the ceiling of Caleb Martin.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will have to sit out at least one more game on Saturday as the team has officially ruled him out against the Memphis Grizzlies. George spoke to the media on Friday and said that the last thing to do is get his cardio back up to speed, and then he should be able to return to the floor. He and Joel Embiid (knee) both participated in scrimmages on Friday as well, so they're trending in the right direction. For now, Kelly Oubre Jr., Caleb Martin, and Andre Drummond will see increased usage and are the best streaming options until they return.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George(knee) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the team said George and Joel Embiid (knee) participated in portions of practice today and will be re-assessed later in the week. Fantasy managers should consider George and Embiid questionable for the Sixers next game on Saturday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) participated in the Sixers' practice on Thursday and looks like he's progressing, according to head coach Nick Nurse. George suffered a bone bruise in a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks and has been sidelined from most basketball action since. Philadelphia is likely to be very cautious in their approach to George's health, especially given their extremely cautious approach to teammate Joel Embiid's knee. The 34-year-old was set to have his knee re-evaluated this week, but there has been no update on his knee's overall health since the bone-bruise diagnosis last week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised not to see George play in regular-season action for at least another week or two. In the meantime, Eric Gordon should continue to get starts for Philly, though his fantasy value may not impress much, as the veteran went 1-for-6 for just two points in their season opener against Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will miss the team's regular-season opener against the Bucks Wednesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The 76ers will start the season with a depleted rotation as star center Joel Embiid (knee) is also out and will likely miss up to three games. George has been limited in practice and will be reevaluated later in the week. Expect Caleb Martin and Kelly Oubre Jr. to see more time on the court while the 34-year-old veteran is sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise. He will be re-evaluated in one week. While there is "no structural damage," the timeline could mean George will miss the start of the regular season. The latest update shouldn't impact his fantasy value ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, barring a setback. However, with the 76ers looking for a championship, fantasy managers may be without George until the team is absolutely certain he is ready to roll. With that in mind, Eric Gordon, who averaged 15.4 points, 1.0 steals, and shot 45.1% from deep in 24 starts with the Suns last season, may spend time with the first five until George can return.

Philadelphia 76ers forwardPaul George does not appear to have any long-term damage after suffering a left knee hyperextension during Monday night's 104-89 preseason win over the Atlanta Hawks. "Everything checked out ok," 76ers coach Nick Nurse told reporters on Tuesday. The 34-year-old is set for more tests later in the day. Before Monday's injury, George wasn't set to suit up for the team's preseason game on Wednesday. If George is to miss a lengthy amount of time going into the regular season, Caleb Martinand KJ Martin are likely to see an uptick in minutes on the court.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George suffered a left knee hyperextension during Monday night's 104-89 preseason victory over the Atlanta Hawks. George suffered the injury early in the second quarter and did not return to the game after. The 34-year-old said he's "not too concerned" about the injury, potentially easing nerves for both Sixers fans and fantasy owners about the severity of the situation. No timeline has been released for George's potential recovery timeline and until then he should be considered day-to-day. However, given his lengthy injury history, fantasy owners should have a contingency plan in place should George be forced to miss any time. After signing a four-year $212 million contract this offseason, Philadelphia will likely do all it can to keep George healthy. Should he miss any time in the regular season Caleb Martin and KJ Martin are likely to pick up more playing time.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Paul George won't play in Monday's exhibition against New Zealand. Head coach Nick Nurse didn't specify why. But it's safe to assume the team will take it easy on the veteran to preserve his health for the regular season. While Nurse indicated everyone else would be available except Joel Embiid, guys like Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, and Kelly Oubre Jr. will likely see limited action. Instead, Jared McCain, Ricky Council IV, Guerschon Yabusele, and Adem Bona could spend extra time on the floor versus the Breakers.

Following Paul George's departure to Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Clippers have a starter's spot open, and head coach Tyronn Lue expects to see multiple players competing for the role. The most obvious candidates to fill it are Derrick Jones Jr., Amir Coffey, and Norman Powell. A starting role always boosts a player's fantasy value. However, Jones Jr. wasn't very productive in the role during his stay in Dallas last season, averaging 8.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 23.5 minutes. Coffey had 11 starts with the Clippers last season and posted 11.8 points with 3.7 rebounds as a member of the first unit. Powell is a very valuable bench scorer but started three games in 2023-24, averaging only slightly more points than his season average of 13.9.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, there is "growing optimism" that the Philadelphia 76ers will sign forward Paul George in free agency. The 34-year-old declined his $48.7 million player option with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, putting him in line to hit the open market. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals while shooting 41.3% from behind the arc. While George isn't getting any younger, the 76ers will enhance their championship chances by adding him to the roster. Fantasy managers should continue to see top-25 production in 2024-25, regardless of where he signs, assuming he stays healthy.
