Listed out for Wednesday
George (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Kings.
Analysis
George is in line for his second straight absence while on the mend from a right ankle sprain. He'll have one final opportunity to return before the All-Star break Thursday against the Trail Blazers. Isaiah Collier should be in line for another start Wednesday in George's place.

Ruled out for Monday
George (ankle) won't play Monday versus Miami.
Analysis
George sprained his right ankle during Saturday's loss to Orlando and will now miss Monday's game in Miami, which will open up more minutes for Isaiah Collier and Vince Williams. For now, George should be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game versus Sacramento, the front end of a back-to-back set.

Sprains ankle, won't return
George won't return to Saturday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain. He'll finish with five points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes.
Analysis
After missing Utah's previous three games due to a left ankle sprain, George rolled his right ankle late in the second quarter of Saturday's contest. Isaiah Collier started the second half against Orlando and should see increased playing time the rest of the way. George's next opportunity to play will come Monday against Miami.

Exits to locker room
George exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Magic due to an apparent right ankle injury, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Analysis
George was cleared to return Saturday from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, though he rolled his right ankle in the second quarter and immediately left for the locker room. If he's unable to return, Isaiah Collier should pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Operating on minutes restriction
George is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Magic on Saturday but will be limited to approximately 24 minutes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
George was given the green light to return Saturday from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He'll be on a minutes restriction in his return, so Isaiah Collier should continue to operate in an expanded role despite moving back to the bench.
February 7, 2026
Good to go Saturday
George (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
George was initially listed as questionable, though he was upgraded to probable Saturday before being cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. With the third-year point guard back in action, Isaiah Collier will likely slide back to the bench. Over 15 January appearances, George averaged 23.2 points, 6.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 34.3 minutes per tilt.

Likely to return Saturday
George (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against Orlando.
Analysis
George appears poised to return from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained in the fourth quarter of the Jazz's loss to the Nets on Jan. 30. If the third-year pro is cleared to return, then Isaiah Collier would be the likely candidate to exit the starting five, though the latter's production over Utah's last three games may have earned him a larger role moving forward.

Questionable to play Saturday
George (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
George has a chance to return Saturday from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. Isaiah Collier has filled in admirably over Utah's last three games and would presumably remain in the starting lineup if George is not cleared to play.
