George Hill Acquired By Philadelphia
George Hill from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 76ers were rumored to be interested in Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, though this deal all but removes them from consideration for the veteran guard's services. Hill brings a solid veteran presence to Philly, though he's missed the last two months of action while recovering from thumb surgery. The 34-year-old figures to have a role off the bench for the 76ers, though he'll be competing for minutes with the likes of Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey. Hill is averaging 11.8 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.6 triples per game this season.

George Hill Expected To Make Postseason Debut
George Hill (abdomen) is anticipated to suit up for the postseason battle against the Boston Celtics. The veteran hasn't played in nearly a month because of an abdominal strain. While the 36-year-old should get some action in Game 3, he's not expected to do much, although his presence could still negatively impact Jevon Carter's workload. However, neither man will likely produce enough to make a difference for DFS managers searching for value on Saturday.

George Hill Close To Making His Return
George Hill (abdomen) is "very close" to making his return to the court, according to Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer. On Thursday, Hill essentially went through a full practice. Following the practice session, Budenholzer said, "He pretty much did all of practice today, did some extra, some play group afterward. I think we just gotta see how he comes out of that & hopefully he's good. But he's very close." Hill has been out since the final weekend of the regular season due to an abdominal strain. His next chance to play will be in Saturday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics.

George Hill Out On Tuesday Night

The 35-year-old has been dealing with an abdominal strain, causing him to miss the entire postseason series versus the Chicago Bulls and the second-round opener against the Celtics on Sunday. It's unknown how much longer Hill will be sidelined. However, it doesn't matter, especially since the veteran likely won't see much action if he is cleared to return anytime soon.

George Hill Remains Out On Sunday Afternoon
George Hill (abdomen) won't suit up for the second-round series opener versus the Boston Celtics. The veteran didn't play during the first round against Chicago due to an abdominal strain, although had he been available, he may have gotten some work with Khris Middleton (knee) sidelined. Nonetheless, the Bucks will probably continue to rely on its starting unit for most of Game 1. Yet, Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton may get most of the minutes and opportunities to produce from off the bench on Sunday.
