Paul George Fantasy Stats

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was issued a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy. The multi-time All-Star has accepted full responsibility, stating "he made the mistake of taking an improper medication" due to mental health issues. George has averaged 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals throughout the campaign. He's also missed 20 games, mostly to recover from offseason surgery on his left knee. The 35-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, although he is still a reliable fantasy performer. With that said, the time away may actually benefit him, considering he will now have more time to rest any lingering injuries. While George is off the floor, VJ Edgecombe, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid should all get additional offensive opportunities. The same can be said for Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes, who will presumably receive even more minutes moving ahead.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will play on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. The team has upgraded George's status on the injury report from probable to available. George will look to gain further momentum on Thursday after opening the week with a 32-point performance against the Milwaukee Bucks. Only two teams have a worse defensive rating than Sacramento, so there should be plenty of scoring opportunities for George and his crew.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is considered probable for Thursday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. George has been in and out of the Sixers' lineup recently while managing a knee injury. However, he looked at 100 percent in Tuesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, leading all scorers with 32 points in 33 minutes. This was George's second-highest scoring performance of the season. Additionally, the two-time NBA All-Defense First Team member had a fourth consecutive appearance with multiple steals. With George back in the lineup, Dominick Barlow has lost his starting spot and most of the little fantasy value he had.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) has been officially cleared for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will make his return to the lineup after missing the first leg of a back-to-back on Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets. George has averaged 14.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in 32.4 minutes per game across January. As a result of George's return, Dominick Barlow must settle for a place on the bench against Milwaukee.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) won't play on Monday against the Hornets. The Sixers will face the Bucks on Tuesday night, so George will sit this one out before presumably returning for that contest. With Joel Embiid (knee) also ruled out, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Kelly Oubre Jr. should see the most scoring opportunities. Quentin Grimes may also find a spot in the starting lineup, with the former Knick averaging 12.0 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts this season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks as he continues left knee injury management. George has played through the issue recently, averaging 14.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.8 steals in 31.7 minutes over his last five appearances. His availability slightly redistributes usage, trimming opportunities for Kelly Oubre Jr. and dialing back secondary touches for VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes. George remains a hold in standard leagues, with moderate production tied to health and workload alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. He has missed two games due to knee injury management. While Kelly Oubre Jr. was initially George's replacement in the first unit, Dominick Barlow will make way for him on Thursday. Joel Embiid (ankle) will also return for Philadelphia on Thursday, giving the team a lot of scoring potential. George has contributed 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.4 steals per game in January.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Houston Rockets. George is managing a left knee injury and also held a questionable designation before Tuesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Ultimately, he missed a second consecutive contest. Kelly Oubre Jr. has started in George's absence, delivering a pair of strong performances. For the season, Oubre Jr. has averaged 16.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals as a member of the first unit. Thursday's game could be a potential banana skin for Oubre Jr., as the Rockets have recently climbed to sixth in defensive efficiency with their improved efforts without the ball.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) sat out Monday's matchup against the Pacers, but the team listed him as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Suns, when the team finishes their back-to-back. Since PG has played three straight games before sitting on Monday, it seems very possible he'll be back in action on Tuesday. In his 23 games this season, he has averaged 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 29.8 minutes per game. If he is back in the mix on Tuesday, Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre Jr. will have less work available on the wings.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. George will sit out tonight's contest due to left knee injury management after he had played in three consecutive games. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.8 minutes per game across 23 outings this campaign. With George out of action, more scoring opportunities will likely come to Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre as they will have heavier workloads in the Sixers frontcourt this evening.
