George has been cleared to play after fully participating in Friday's practice. Surprisingly, Jared McCain is the player headed to the bench in favor of George. Managers who have the rookie rostered should not drop him, as the 76ers still need McCain's scoring. Completing the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Guerschon Yabusele, and Andre Drummond.
With both Joel Embiid and Paul George out for this game, Oubre and Yabusele will get the starting nods. Andre Drummond has been the typical starter in place of Embiid this season, and he should still play a large role off the bench.
George will miss Philly's games on Friday and Sunday, meaning the next time that he may suit up is on Wednesday against Houston. It may be longer than that, but at minimum, Kelly Oubre Jr. should get two starts in his place.
With Paul George reinjuring his knee, Oubre may be back in the mix as a standard-league streamer.
George injured his knee early in the third quarter, exiting the game and heading to the locker room immediately. He has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. What's concerning is that this is the same knee George injured during the preseason, resulting in the 76ers wing missing the first five regular season games. Kelly Oubre Jr. is the likely "next man up" if George misses time.
