George is set to miss both ends of the 76ers' back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. Tyrese Maxey should lead the Philadelphia offense once again with Joel Embiid (foot) also out. Ricky Council IV and Kelly Oubre Jr. will see more minutes with George unavailable.
George sat out Saturday against Indiana due to the groin injury, and he's in danger of missing the second leg of the back-to-back set. With both he and Joel Embiid sidelined Saturday, Tyrese Maxey led the offense with 28 points, while Ricky Council IV and Kelly Oubre Jr. chipped in with 18 apiece. Expect Council IV and Oubre Jr. to see increased run if George is sidelined against the Bucks.
Yabusele's absence will be offset at least in part by the likely return of Andre Drummond. If George and Lowry are sidelined Saturday, expect Eric Gordon, Ricky Council IV and Kelly Oubre Jr. to see a bump in playing time.
Maxey and George are back in the 76ers' lineup after sitting out Tuesday's loss to the Thunder. Their returns mean Reggie Jackson and Ricky Council IV head to the bench, where neither is worth being rostered in most fantasy leagues.
George sat out Tuesday's game against the Thunder and was initially listed as questionable Wednesday. The 34-year-old small forward will start against the Knicks, sending Ricky Council IV back to the bench.
