Paul George Goes 3-For-15 From The Field In Tuesday's Loss
5 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard Paul George had a cold shooting night in Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the 76ers, going 3-for-15 from the field and 1-for-4 from downtown to finish with 11 points. The veteran also had 12 rebounds, five assists and one block. Nights like these are bound to happen, even for an elite player like George, but the hope for owners is to have his shooting woes fixed quickly. The last time the 29-year-old had a cold shooting night was against the Kings on Jan. 30, but he successfully rebounded to score over 19 points the following five games until Tuesday's setback. George and the Clippers play a tough defensive team in the Celtics up next on Thursday.

Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
2 days agoShams Charania of ESPN reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward 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
1 week agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward 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.

Paul George Questionable Thursday In Boston
1 week agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) was listed as questionable for Thursday's road game in Boston. He left Tuesday's game with groin soreness after playing 30 minutes. With Tyrese Maxey (back) out, George could have a big role if he's available, but he has battled this nagging injury for several weeks and it seems to be limiting his effectiveness. George is only averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.9 minutes per game over his 11 contests since returning from his last extended lay-off. The good news is that he wasn't already ruled out, meaning the injury may not be serious. Check back on his availability before tip-off.
