Impact George had success beyond the arc in the win, upping his three-point conversion rate to 32.7 percent. George is only shooting 36.6 percent from the floor over 13 games, a category that needs significant improvement. Despite the slump, he's still averaging 14.9 points per game while dishing out and average of 5.5 assists.

Efficient line in defeat George notched 19 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Kings.

Impact George is beginning to trend back up after a slow game against Phoenix earlier in the week. George's 19 points marked his second-highest point total of the season. His season-high 33-point performance against Chicago has proven to be an outlier, as the rest of his results hover in the 10-15 point range.

Quiet in return Tuesday George totaled nine points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Suns.

Impact George returned from a one-game absence due to a foot sprain, sliding straight back into the starting lineup. Despite playing a sizeable role, George has been unable to take his game to the next level as many had hoped for. Outside of one offensive explosion in which he scored a season-high 33 points in a win over the Bulls, it's been rough going for the sophomore. He is shooting just 32.3 percent from the floor this season, a number that needs to come up should he hope to establish himself as an elite NBA guard.

Iffy against San Antonio George is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left foot soreness.

Turns in huge scoring night George supplied 33 points (8-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 11-13 FT), one rebound, nine assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 135-126 win over the Bulls.

Impact George led Utah's scoring attach with the help of six made triples, his best mark of the young campaign. The Baylor product hasn't been shy from downtown over his last two appearances, hoisting up 23 total attempts from beyond the arc. George was also dangerous passing the ball Monday night, falling just one assist shy of his second double-double.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double George ended Saturday's 129-103 loss to the Nuggets with 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists in 32 minutes.

Impact George finished just two assists away from a double-double, but more importantly, he committed just two turnovers after losing the ball seven times in the 106-88 loss to the Spurs on Thursday. George has struggled with his shot in the opening stages of the season, and despite averaging 13.7 points with 6.5 assists per tilt, he's making just 30.3 percent of his field goals.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Commits career-high seven turnovers George recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs.

Impact George has started every game this season, but his shooting has left a lot to be desired. He made matters worse during Thursday's game with seven turnovers. Putting Collin Sexton in the first unit on a more consistent basis could be a reasonable short-term solution for the Jazz, allowing George to work out the kinks with the second unit.

Shooting woes continue George posted 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to the Kings.

Impact George delivered his first double-double of the season, but he also posted his worst scoring mark of the campaign, and the shooting woes are simply too glaring to ignore. Through four games, the second-year guard is shooting just 26.2 percent from the field and 22.6 percent from deep. That's not going to cut it, especially considering how much he has the ball in his hands. Fantasy managers should trust George to turn things around, but his lack of efficiency is limiting his upside.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Best scoring output of season George provided 17 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact George surpassed the 15-point mark for the first time this season in this game, but there's no question the sophomore guard has been slumping to start the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game through his first three appearances, and while those numbers are good enough to keep him rostered and starting in most formats, he needs to find a way to improve his shooting percentages -- and soon. He's making just 27.1 percent of his shots, as well as 23.8 percent of his threes, to open the campaign.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Poor shooting effort Wednesday George recorded 12 points (3-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), two rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-124 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact George had a rough performance from a shooting perspective in this season opener. However, the second-year guard should have all the opportunities in the world to shake off the rust as the season progresses. George will remain the Jazz's starting point guard and should see enough minutes to be a consistent performer regularly for a rebuilding Utah team.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Third-year option exercised The Jazz exercised the third-year option on George's rookie contract Monday.

Impact This allows Utah to keep George under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. He entered the starting lineup late in the 2023-24 regular season due to injuries to Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson, and over his last 28 starts, George averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game. George is expected to run with the first unit with Sexton while Clarkson serves in a sixth-man role.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Excels in backcourt during win George produced 24 points (7-14 FG, 3-103Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, three rebounds and a blocked shot across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.

Impact George assumed a lot of responsibility late in the season when Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson both went down with injuries, but the rookie responded well. Even with Sexton and Clarkson full healthy, George is projected to run with the first unit, relegating Clarkson to the sixth-man role that has become his hallmark. The second-year player still needs to improve his shot efficiency and show up more on defense, but he has all the tools to succeed alongside Sexton in the backcourt.

Gets start in return George (knee/rest) will start in Tuesday's pregame matchup against the Kings, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact George was absent for Saturday's game against the Spurs after tweaking his knee Thursday versus the Mavericks. However, the 20-year-old is back and will likely be fully ready for Opening Night against the Grizzlies next Wednesday.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Tuesday George (knee/rest) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact George didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, as the Jazz took a cautious approach after the guard tweaked his knee earlier in the preseason. All signs point to George being at or close to 100 percent with Opening Night less than two weeks away.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Saturday George (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Neither George nor Lauri Markkanen (rest) are expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest, and that shouldn't be surprising regarding the sophomore point guard since he suffered a knee injury in the preseason win over the Mavericks on Thursday. It remains to be seen if George will suit up for the rest of the preseason, though Utah's next preseason game is scheduled for Tuesday against the Kings.

Impact George suffered a mild left knee sprain during the third quarter of Tuesday's win over the Mavericks, and while the Jazz are confident he won't have to miss time once their regular season begins, an MRI will provide a more precise diagnosis. George is a pivotal piece on the offensive scheme of the Jazz both on a short-term and long-term picture, and he averaged 13.0 points with 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game as a rookie in 2023-24 across 75 regular-season contests.

Impact George put together a strong stat line before slipping on the court in the third quarter and exiting the game. He'll be shut down for the rest of the matchup and the team will likely hold him out of Saturday's exhibition in San Antonio as well to ensure he heads into the regular season at full strength.

Scores 13 points Monday George posted 13 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets.

Impact George has scored a combined 25 points while going 7-for-13 from the field in two preseason games, and it seems he's getting into a good rhythm with the start of the 2024-25 campaign just around the corner. George is expected to be a central figure for Utah both in the short-term and long-term scenario, meaning he should be a strong fantasy option across all formats in his role of being the point guard of a rebuilding team with only one proven offensive threat ahead of him in the pecking order.

Efficient in preseason win George notched 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five assists across 23 minutes in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.

Impact George was one of three starters who surpassed the 20-minute mark in this preseason opener and looked sharp, missing just two shots from the field and getting his teammates involved early and often. George will open his second season in The Association as the Jazz's starting point guard and as one of the team's go-to players on offense alongside Lauri Markkanen.
