Questionable for Tuesday
George is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to low back tightness and left knee injury recovery.
Analysis
The 76ers are scheduled for a matchup with the 2-16 Wizards, so the 35-year-old vet may opt for a rest day with his back tightening up on him. We'll have a better idea of George's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he can't give it a go, that would open up minutes for Quentin Grimes and Justin Edwards.

Scores 16 points, adds five steals
George had 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to Atlanta.
Analysis
George didn't have his best shooting percentage, making 35.2 percent of his shots and 25 percent of his treys, but he made an impact in other areas. The five steals were a season high for the veteran forward, who logged a season-high 28 minutes in this double-overtime loss. George should remain in the starting lineup as long as he stays healthy. Even though he won't be the stat-filling machine he was during his prime years, he's still a serviceable player in most fantasy formats due to his ability to contribute in multiple categories with ease. Through five games this season, he's averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per contest.

Nets 14 points with two steals
George totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 115-103 win over the Nets.
Analysis
George got off to a hot start in this one, scoring all 14 of his points in his first 14 minutes of play, but with the 76ers dominating the matchup, he took a backseat on offense through the second half. Tyrese Maxey finished with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one turnover across 42 minutes in the easy win.

Cleared to play Friday
George (ankle) is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis
George missed the first portion of the regular season due to a knee injury, but he has recently been dealing with a sprained right ankle that caused him to sit out of the 76ers' loss to the Magic on Tuesday. The All-Star forward has been cleared to play Friday after going through pregame warmups, and his return will send Justin Edwards back to the bench.

GTD Friday
George (ankle) remains questionable and will go through pregame warmups before a decision is made on his availability for Friday's game against Brooklyn, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Analysis
George spent the first few weeks of the season on the shelf with a knee injury, and he's been dealing with a sprained right ankle recently. He missed Tuesday's loss to Orlando due to the new injury and is at risk of missing another contest Friday. With the 76ers already down several players, Dominick Barlow, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards would see expanded roles if George is sidelined.

Questionable to play Friday
George (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
George participated in Thursday's practice, but a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's kickoff. The 76ers could see George in their lineup, but they'll be without Joel Embiid (knee) and VJ Edgecombe (calf). George is averaging 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
November 26, 2025
Goes through practice
George (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis
George was initially probable for Tuesday's game against Orlando before ultimately getting ruled out. His participation Wednesday is a great sign for his status, however, and it sounds like he has a good chance of returning Friday against the Nets.
November 25, 2025
Downgraded to out Tuesday
George (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Tuesday's game against Orlando.
Analysis
George was initially deemed probable to play, but he will now be sidelined for his 14th contest in 17 games to start the season. With George out, Dominick Barlow, Trendon Watford and Justin Edwards are all candidates to see heavy usage Tuesday.
