KEYONTE GEORGE NEWS

Exits with foot injury George (left foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact George sustained a non-contact injury Wednesday and attempted to play through the issue for a possession before limping off the court and into the locker room. He'll finish the contest scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with no counting stats. While the severity of the injury is unclear, fantasy managers should have a backup plan in case George can't go Thursday at Portland.

Delivers career-high 30 points George amassed 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 134-120 loss to the Thunder.

Impact George has settled into a starting role quicker than many would've expected, but he seems to improve with every passing game, and the rookie has been playing very well in recent weeks. Aside from notching a career-best scoring mark in this loss to the Thunder, he matched up well against an MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Plus, over his last 10 games, George is averaging a solid 15.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 steals per contest.

Dishes out 11 dimes George notched seven points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact While George matched his season-high mark of 11 assists during Wednesday's blowout loss, he was inefficient from the floor and fell short of the first double-double of his career. The rookie has now posted 11 assists on three occasions to begin the regular season, but he's shot just 17.1 percent from the floor over those three appearances. While these performances have helped him establish a solid fantasy floor since joining the starting lineup, he'll be able to generate more upside if he can put things together more consistently.

Impact George put together two excellent games against Utah and scored a season-high 19 points in the second-straight game against the Jazz.

Impact George has averaged 10.0 points, 7.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 28.5 minutes across his last six appearances since being inserted into the starting lineup.

Impact Moved into the starting lineup for the first time Wednesday, George set a new personal best in assists and extended his career-opening streak of games with at least one three-pointer to nine.

Impact George's role isn't what fantasy managers would like it to be, but with the Jazz sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference with a 2-6 record, it's possible that more minutes are on the horizon for the rookie.

Solid off bench George accumulated eight points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 130-114 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Jazz struggled to keep up during Wednesday's regular-season opener, but George saw his fair share of playing time off the bench and was relatively efficient from the floor. He could struggle to see minutes as long as the Jazz remain healthy this year, but the rookie first-round pick showcased some potential during the preseason.

Impact George was one of Utah's three first-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft. In Tuesday's preseason outing, the rookie guard showed his ability to be a primary ball-handler off the bench. However, George isn't expected to receive extended playing time to start the regular season.

Out for rest of summer league George (ankle) is set to miss the remainder of the Jazz's Las Vegas Summer League schedule, league sources tell Sarah Todd of the Deseret News.

Impact The Jazz haven't provided an update on the severity of the right ankle sprain George suffered in the second quarter of Wednesday's 96-91 win over the Nuggets, but the organization has apparently already decided that the 16th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft won't attempt to play through the injury over the next week. During his freshman year at Baylor this past season, George missed a game in late February with a sprain of the same ankle, so it makes sense for the Jazz to take a cautious approach with the rookie guard. George proved to be one of the more productive players across his three games in the Salt Lake City Summer League and three games in the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 18.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point range.

Goes down with injury George will not return to Wednesday's game against Denver with a right ankle sprain, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact George had to be helped off the court in the second quarter after turning his ankle. He'll finish Wednesday's tilt with nine points (3-10 FG) and four rebounds through fifteen minutes. Considering George has logged 33 and 26 points in his last two appearances, it wouldn't be surprising to see George be shut down for the rest of Summer League, especially with the right ankle being the same one he injured last year at Baylor.
