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.
After not participating in Friday's practice, George and Yabusele were initially questionable for Saturday's game. They'll both sit out the matchup with the Pacers, with the former's absence being more impactful. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon will receive bumps to their fantasy values with George out, while Yabusele's absence boosts Andre Drummond (probable).
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.
