Paul George's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is still working his way back from hyperextending his knee again. The nine-time All-Star was a full participant at practice on Friday, according to Tim Bontemps, but he hasn't been fully cleared for their Saturday game against the Detroit Pistons yet. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for a clearer picture which will likely come out on Saturday. If he can't play, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Ricky Council IV should see more opportunities if Caleb Martin (back) also can't suit up.

Per NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will be unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Houston Rockets due to a knee bone bruise. George partially participated in practice, which means he will likely return soon. He could return on Saturday versus the Pistons. With George still sidelined, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon will likely see their roles increase.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will miss at least the next two games. The veteran suffered a bone bruise in Wednesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, ending his night after only 17 minutes of work. He will be re-evaluated on Monday. Luckily, an MRI on Thursday revealed no structural damage. With that in mind, fantasy managers could see him out longer than two games, considering he injured the same knee during the preseason. But as long as George is on the shelf, Kelly Oubre Jr., averaging 14.6 points and 4.7 boards in 11 starts this season, should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) exited Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies and did not return to the Sixers' 117-111 loss. George hyperextended his left knee, the same one he injured during the preseason. As of now, there have been no further comments from the team on the severity of George's injury, but fantasy managers should prepare for the 34-year-old to miss some time. In his absence, expect Kelly Oubre Jr. to be inserted back into the starting lineup. Oubre has averaged 13.4 points this season, though he averaged 18 PPG during the first five games of the season when George was out. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on George's status going forward and should snag Oubre off the waiver wire if possible.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) isn't available for Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. The veteran scored a game-high 29 points in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, adding 10 rebounds, three steals, and one block. However, he missed the start of the 2024-25 campaign because of a knee injury, so he'll take the night off before likely getting back in the lineup on Friday versus the Orlando Magic. With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Joel Embiid (knee) also out, Kelly Oubre Jr. Caleb Martin, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jared McCain could all see a substantial increase in fantasy production.
