Paul George Shoots Just 6-For-20 In Loss To Cavaliers
Paul George had a rough night shooting the ball in the team's 92-79 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He went 6-for-20 from the field overall and he was 0-for-8 from three-point range. He still managed to compile a decent all-around stat line as he racked up 12 points, 10 rebounds, four steals and an assist. George's usage rate has been way up so far this year. He's averaging 21.0 field goal attempts per game, a significant increase from last year (17.6). He's also been a menace on the defensive end with 16 steals in four games. His next game will be a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

Paul George Ruled Out For Friday
Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. George has missed four games in a row and is set to miss his fifth game. The injury report notes that George's absence is due to groin soreness, and the Philadelphia 76ers have not placed a timeline on George's return yet. George, who signed a four-year, $212 million max deal with the Philadelphia 76ers after five seasons with the LA Clippers, is averaging only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 41 games.

Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
Paul George (groin) is consulting with doctors on treatment options for his groin and knee injuries. A decision will be made on whether he'll need a procedure to address either injury. George has missed four consecutive contests dealing with the nagging injuries. He will likely be out of action against Indiana on Friday and Sunday in Dallas as a treatment plan for the 34-year-old will be decided upon next week. With just over a month left in the season, George could very well be shut down since the Sixers don't have much riding on the rest of the season.

Paul George Sits Out Thursday's Game
Paul George (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The team has downgraded George from questionable to out, as the nine-time All-Star battles left groin soreness. Tyrese Maxey (back) also won't play on Thursday, so Philadelphia's offense should heavily revolve around Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes. The latter has put together a very impressive three-game stretch, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 steals, with 42.9 percent shooting from three-point range.
