Team-high 36 points not enough
George provided 36 points (14-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
George enjoyed his 12th game of the year with at least 30 points Monday. The star guard's workload increased in his second contest back from an ankle sprain, which is an encouraging sign. Over his last 10 appearances, George has averaged 24.7 points, 4.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.

Drops 17 points in return
George (ankle) chipped in 17 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis
George returned to action after missing the previous six games with a right ankle sprain. As expected, he moved straight back into the starting lineup, logging 23 minutes in the process. Given Utah's current priorities, expect to see George playing limited minutes for the next handful of games. With potential rest nights also not out of the question, rostering him could be a bumpy ride for the foreseeable future.

Will play Saturday
George (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Analysis
George has appeared in just one game so far this month -- a Feb. 7 loss to Orlando -- during which he logged 13 minutes before sustaining a right ankle sprain that caused him to miss six consecutive contests. Before picking up the right ankle injury, he missed three straight games with a left ankle sprain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the third-year point guard operate under a minutes restriction during his return to action.

Trending toward playing Saturday
George (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
George has missed nine of the Jazz's last 10 games (including each of the last six contests) due to ankle injuries. It looks like the third-year pro will return Saturday, which would likely result in Isaiah Collier or John Konchar moving to a bench role against New Orleans.

Questionable for Saturday
George (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
George has missed Utah's last six outings due to a right ankle sprain he sustained in a Feb. 7 loss to Orlando. However, he has now drawn a questionable tag ahead of three consecutive contests and appears to be nearing a return to game action. If he remains sidelined Saturday, Isaiah Collier should continue to start.

Another absence coming
George is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans with a right ankle sprain.
Analysis
George is running his absence up to six consecutive contests Thursday. The star guard's next chance to play comes Saturday, when Utah takes on New Orleans in a rematch. Isaiah Collier should continue to start at point guard for the injury-riddled Jazz and experience a considerable boost in fantasy value.

Questionable for Thursday
George (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Analysis
George has missed the past five games for the Jazz, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there Thursday evening. If George is cleared to return, Isaiah Collier would likely return to the second unit.
