Questionable for Sunday
George is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a sprained left ankle.
Analysis
George suffered the sprained ankle in Friday's loss to the Nets, though the questionable tag suggests that he can be considered day-to-day going forward. If the third-year point guard is unable to suit up, Isaiah Collier would likely get the starting nod, while Walter Clayton could see a bump in minutes off the bench.

Leaves early with ankle sprain
George exited Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter due to a left ankle sprain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
George immediately made his way to the locker room after checking out of the contest. On a positive note, head coach Will Hardy said after the game that X-rays on George's ankle came back negative, ruling out a potential fracture, per Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City. He finished the contest with 26 points (9-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 32 minutes. The 22-year-old point guard's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Raptors. If George is forced to miss time, Isaiah Collier would likely replace him in the starting five, and Walter Clayton would presumably be in line for extra playing time.

Exits to locker room
George exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Nets due to an apparent left ankle injury, per the broadcast.
Analysis
George appeared to turn his ankle and hopped to the locker room with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to return in the final minutes of the contest, he'll finish with 26 points (9-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 32 minutes.

Productive against Warriors
George ended with 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 140-124 loss to Golden State.
Analysis
After getting the night off on the front end of a back-to-back Tuesday, George returned to the court and delivered another strong performance. The third-year guard has scored at least 17 points in nine straight appearances, averaging 26.3 points, 5.7 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch as his breakout campaign continues.

Cleared from injury report
George (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
The Jazz elected to give George the night off during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers, but he'll be back in action for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set. The third-year guard is rolling for fantasy managers, averaging 27.3 points, 5.5 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 34.8 minutes per contest in his last eight games. Isaiah Collier figures to hit the bench Wednesday.

Sitting out vs. Clippers
George will be held out of Tuesday's game against the Clippers for rest purposes.
Analysis
George will get a scheduled day off after appearing in 13 straight matchups for the Jazz. Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton should be in line for more looks in George's absence.
