To miss at least two weeks
George has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and will be reassessed in two weeks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
George went down with a hamstring injury during Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and it'll cost him at least another two weeks. Isaiah Collier figures to hold down the starting point guard job until George returns to health.

Won't play Friday
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland.
Analysis
George suffered a right hamstring strain during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, so it's not surprising at all to see him hit the sidelines for Thursday's game. Given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries, partnered with Utah's desire to try and keep their top-8 protected pick in the upcoming draft, this is something that could turn into a multi-game absence for George. Isaiah Collier will be the primary beneficiary while George is out.

Leaves early with hamstring injury
George has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right hamstring injury. He recorded 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes prior to departing.
Analysis
George checked out of the game with 5:47 left in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the contest. Though the severity of George's injury won't be known until he undergoes further testing, even mild hamstring strains often result in multi-game absences for players. With that in mind, George should be viewed as unlikely to play in Utah's next contest Friday in Portland. Isaiah Collier would be the next man up to start at point guard if George misses time.

Heads to locker room
George went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Knicks with an apparent hamstring injury, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
George went to block a shot by Karl-Anthony Towns and immediately grabbed at his hamstring area before departing the contest. While he's sidelined, look for Isaiah Collier to take over point guard duties, while Elijah Harkless could see some additional playing time.

Given green light vs NYK
George (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
George will play through an illness for a second straight game. The talented young guard played just 24 minutes last time out, so it's possible he'll have his minutes limited once again Wednesday. If that's the case, Isaiah Collier would likely see a bump in playing time.

Still under the weather
George (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
George was able to play through an illness in Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors, though he logged just 24 minutes and finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds. Isaiah Collier would likely enter the starting lineup if George is unable to play against New York.

Will play Monday
George (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Analysis
George was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day after it was announced that he was dealing with an illness, but he'll ultimately be able to fight through the issue to take the court Monday. He's coming off a solid 22-point showing Saturday against Milwaukee.

Downgraded to questionable
George has an illness and is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
George was a very late addition to the injury report, which is an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. Additionally, Isaiah Collier (illness) is also questionable. If the Jazz err on the side of caution, more minutes could be available for Elijah Harkless and Cody Williams.
March 8, 2026
Scores 22 points in loss Saturday
George finished with 22 points (4-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to Milwaukee.
Analysis
George had a woeful shooting performance in this game, but the fact that he went 12-for-13 from the charity stripe salvaged his outing from a scoring perspective. The electric floor general was returning from a one-game absence after sitting out the win over the Wizards on Thursday, and this was the third straight game in which he recorded at least 20 points.
