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.

Impact George scored a game-high 30 points in the club's Summer League opener against the Grizzlies, but he will sit Tuesday as the Jazz take a look at their crowded rookie class of Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski.

Impact It was an ugly shooting night for George, who scored 17 of his 30 points from the charity stripe. However, he led his squad in scoring and came through when his team needed him most by drilling a pair of free throws to reach the target score in overtime. The Baylor product saw his fair share of chances Monday evening, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see more opportunities for his younger teammates like Isaiah Collier, Max Abmas and Jason Preston on Tuesday against the Thunder.

Finishes season on high note George provided 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to Golden State.

Impact George finished the campaign on a strong note after registering 20 or more points in three of his last five appearances. Despite sharing backcourt duties with Jordan Clarkson (back) and Collin Sexton (illness), George took over the starting point guard role on Feb. 12 after the deadline and thrived, emerging as a viable long-term piece in Utah's rebuilding process. He finishes the season with averages of 13.0 points, 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Leads starters in scoring in win George ended with 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 110-109 victory over the Clippers.

Impact George led all Jazz starters in scoring while ending as one of six players with a double-digit point total to boost Utah offensively in a close victory. George has provided the Jazz with a nice offensive lift as of late, tallying 14 or more points in three of his last four outings.

Goes for 20 points Thursday George had 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-121 victory over the Rockets.

Impact George was one of Utah's best players in the win over the Rockets, and while this was his 11th game with 20 or more points, it was also the second time he accomplished this feat over his last three appearances. The rookie point guard should enjoy a heavy workload in the final two games of the campaign against the Clippers and Warriors on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Posts 25 points in defeat George contributed 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to Golden State.

Impact George bounced back after a poor shooting night Friday against the Clippers. The 2023 first-round pick shot fifty percent from the floor and drilled four-three pointers, marking his highest total beyond the arc since drilling five threes against the Celtics three weeks ago. With Jordan Clarkson (back) sidelined, we should see plenty of George in the backcourt as the season draws to a close.

Struggles from deep Saturday George supplied 15 points (4-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 147-119 loss to the Rockets.

Impact George has lots of potential, but as a rookie who's still getting used to the pace of the NBA, he's going to have a few subpar outings like Saturday's, especially when matched up against an experienced floor general in Fred VanVleet. George still posted a decent stat line, but there's no question he struggled badly with his shot. He'll aim to bounce back in another complicated matchup against the Mavericks on Monday.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Scoring surge continues George amassed 25 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 124-122 victory over the Hawks.

Impact The rookie guard couldn't find a rhythm from long distance Friday, but he compensating by attacking the rim more frequently instead, resulting in a career-best performance from the free-throw line. George has scored 25-plus points in each of the last four games he's seen a full workload, with only an illness that caused him to check out after six minutes Mar. 4 against the Wizards interrupting that surge. The 16th overall pick in the 2023 Draft can still be inconsistent, but he's emerging as a potential long-term solution at point guard for the Jazz.
