Paul George Struggles With Shot
7 years agoOklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George could not get his shot to drop in his club's Game 2 loss at the hands of the Utah Jazz. George was smoking hot coming into the night's contest, connecting on 26 of his last 40 attempts but only could convert six of 21 for 18 points in this contest. George added a team-high 10 boards and added three blocks to supplement his decent overall line. The good from this outing for George is that even though his shot was not falling, he kept shooting. This bump in the road should not affect George and he is a good play for Game, 3 as there is good chance his stroke returns, because he shoots three percent better on the road on the season.

Paul George Assessing Options With Surgery Possible
4 weeks 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 month 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.
