Questionable against Houston
George is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left knee contusion.
Analysis
George has been in and out of the lineup of late as he continues to nurse a left knee injury. He was limited to just 15 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Raptors and is officially listed as questionable for Monday's contest. If he is unable to go, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley could see increased minutes.

Will be limited Saturday
Head coach Brian Keefe said George (knee) will operate under an unspecified minutes restriction in Saturday's game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
George will return from a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, though he isn't expected to see a full workload. The second-year swingman has yet to log more than 26 minutes in a game through eight February appearances, during which he has averaged 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.5 minutes per tilt.

Green light to play against Toronto
George (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
George was held out of Thursday's loss to the Hawks due to a left knee contusion, but the second-year pro has been cleared to return Saturday, which will likely result in Will Riley reverting to a bench role. George has averaged 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.8 blocks over 20.5 minutes per game in his last eight outings.

Iffy for Saturday
George (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
George is in jeopardy of missing a second straight outing due to a left knee contusion. He has appeared in five of Washington's last eight games, averaging 12.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.4 minutes per contest over that stretch. If he's ultimately ruled out, Will Riley (ankle), Jamir Watkins and Justin Champagnie would be candidates for increased minutes.

Won't play Thursday
George (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
George has frequently missed time for the Wizards, and his latest injury is a knee contusion. With George sidelined, the team is likely to lean more on Justin Champagnie and Will Riley.

Dealing with left knee injury
George is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a left knee contusion.
Analysis
George may have picked up the injury during Washington's 119-98 loss to Atlanta on Tuesday, when he played 21 minutes and finished with 11 points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists. Justin Champagnie figures to be the top candidate to enter the Wizards' starting lineup if George is unable to play in Thursday's rematch.
