Suspended 25 games
The NBA suspended George for 25 games Saturday for violating the league's Anti-Drug program.
Analysis
The suspension will start with Saturday's game against the Pelicans and will keep George off the floor until late March. When healthy, George made an impact as the team's third option behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, so George's extended absence is a big blow to a Sixers team in the midst of a crowded Eastern Conference playoff race. In George's absence, Dominick Barlow figures to be the top candidate to enter the 76ers' starting lineup, and Kelly Oubre should also take on an expanded role for Philadelphia.

Available to play
George (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Kings, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Expected to play Thursday
George is probable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.
Analysis
George has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report throughout the year, but he remains on track to suit up Thursday. Over his last six appearances, the star forward has averaged 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Paces Philadelphia in win
George tallied 32 points (11-21 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 139-122 win over the Bucks.
Analysis
George got into a rhythm from three-point range, knocking down a season-high nine triples en route to a game-high 32 points. He had shot just 29.6 percent from downtown in his previous 10 appearances this month. The veteran forward was productive across the board in his return from a one-game absence, contributing at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists for the first time this season and for just the third time in his tenure with the 76ers. He has reached the 30-point threshold twice this season.

Available to play
George (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
George was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be available. The 35-year-old veteran has put in averages of 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.2 triples and 1.4 steals per game this season.
January 27, 2026
Expected to play
George (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
After sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set Monday against Charlotte, George is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday. Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable, however, so George could potentially see a bump in usage against the Bucks.

Ruled out for Monday
George has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Hornets due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis
George will miss the front end of this back-to-back set, and the veteran forward has yet to suit up in both legs of a back-to-back so far this season. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Milwaukee. Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford are candidates to see increased minutes due to George being sidelined, while Justin Edwards and Jabari Walker could enter the Philadelphia rotation.
