Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin, knee) will not return to the court during the 2024-25 season. Sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania that George has been ruled out for the rest of the season after receiving injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday. This means that George finishes his debut campaign in Philadelphia with only 41 appearances. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes. George, who will turn 35 on May 2, signed a four-year max contract worth $212 million with the 76ers last summer. This has proven to be a terrible deal for the 76ers, who are on track to finish a season with fewer than 30 wins for the first time since 2016-17.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. George has missed four games in a row and is set to miss his fifth game. The injury report notes that George's absence is due to groin soreness, and the Philadelphia 76ers have not placed a timeline on George's return yet. George, who signed a four-year, $212 million max deal with the Philadelphia 76ers after five seasons with the LA Clippers, is averaging only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 41 games.
Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
Shams Charania of ESPN reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin) is consulting with doctors on treatment options for his groin and knee injuries. A decision will be made on whether he'll need a procedure to address either injury. George has missed four consecutive contests dealing with the nagging injuries. He will likely be out of action against Indiana on Friday and Sunday in Dallas as a treatment plan for the 34-year-old will be decided upon next week. With just over a month left in the season, George could very well be shut down since the Sixers don't have much riding on the rest of the season.
Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Philadelphia 76ers' guard/forward, Paul George (groin), won't play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday or the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. George has been dealing with injury issues all season long and will miss the next two 76ers games due to groin soreness. Fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week, as the 34-year-old could return Friday versus the Pacers.
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The team has downgraded George from questionable to out, as the nine-time All-Star battles left groin soreness. Tyrese Maxey (back) also won't play on Thursday, so Philadelphia's offense should heavily revolve around Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes. The latter has put together a very impressive three-game stretch, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 steals, with 42.9 percent shooting from three-point range.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) was listed as questionable for Thursday's road game in Boston. He left Tuesday's game with groin soreness after playing 30 minutes. With Tyrese Maxey (back) out, George could have a big role if he's available, but he has battled this nagging injury for several weeks and it seems to be limiting his effectiveness. George is only averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.9 minutes per game over his 11 contests since returning from his last extended lay-off. The good news is that he wasn't already ruled out, meaning the injury may not be serious. Check back on his availability before tip-off.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is available for Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He didn't suit up for the 119-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. As a result, Justin Edwards (ankle) entered the starting lineup and finished with 16 points and six rebounds. But Edwards won't suit up on Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey (back) also isn't available. With that in mind, George has an excellent chance to exceed expectations on the scoring end, so he's a must-start for fantasy managers. The same can be said for Quentin Grimes (bicep), Guerschon Yabusele (eye), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness), who are all good to go.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) won't suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday due to soreness. With George ruled out for this game, Guerschon Yabusele should step into some more minutes while Justin Edwards could move into the starting five. In terms of consistency, Yabusele would serve as the better fantasy option with averages of 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 threes in 26.3 minutes across 55 games this season.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) apparently picked up a new injury after the team listed him as questionable with groin soreness. The 76ers are set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday with an almost completely different looking team than the first time these two met on December 30. If George is ruled out for this one, Guerschon Yabusele should step into some more minutes while Justin Edwards could move into the starting five. In terms of consistency, Yabusele would serve as the better streaming option with averages of 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 threes per game.
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (finger) remains on the injury report for his finger injury that requires a splint, but he'll be available for the team's Friday night game against the Detroit Pistons. In his first game back while wearing the splint, George had a bit of a rough night going for nine points, two assists, one rebound, three steals, and one block on 3-for-11 shooting. His touch will likely take some time, but he's not a benchable fantasy player at this time.
