George has a left big toe sprain and will not play Friday against the Pacers.
After George finished with six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers, the team will hold him out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With George sidelined, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley could be more involved for Washington.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Limited in win
Rotowire
George supplied six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.
George logged fewer than 25 minutes for the fifth time in his past six appearances, raising some doubt as to his overall fantasy appeal. Despite putting together what could be considered a breakout campaign, it appears as though George's playing time could be limited for the run home. For now, he warrants a roster spot in most leagues. However, managers will want to keep an eye on his minutes moving forward, as he could eventually become a disposable asset.
George registered 17 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
George tallied double digits for the second straight game, although his playing time remains underwhelming. With Washington clearly shifting into tank mode, it appears as though George is not only going to miss games moving forward, but his playing time could be limited on most nights. While he does remain a must-roster player, managers are going to have to be prepared for some uncertainty.
George (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
Both George and Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will shake off questionable tags for this contest. George has been quiet in his six most recent outings with 12.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Rotowire

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Available to play
Rotowire
George (knee) will play Sunday against the Heat.
George is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, so he should see his usual minutes as a starter Sunday. His return will likely send Will Riley back to the bench, and Keshon Gilbert's minutes could dip.

George (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
George is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets with a bruised right knee.
The Wizards are considering holding out a number of key players for the first half of their back-to-back set. Depending on who's available for Saturday's contest, Bub Carrington, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie appear to be in a favorable situation when it comes to added playing time.
George closed Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 19 minutes.
This was a bizarre game for Washington with the team benching all their starters for most of the second half to close this game out. Bub Carrington and Bilal Coulibaly were the only starters to eclipse 20 minutes, and they barely did that. With the Wizards not playing for much, this could become a trend.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Paves way to victory
Rotowire
George notched 23 points (10-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over Milwaukee.
George led the way for Washington in the scoring department, though it clearly wasn't his most efficient showing, as he needed 24 attempts from the field to reach 23 points. He also managed to contribute outside of the scoring column, dishing out five assists for a second straight game while accounting for two of the Wizards' eight steals.

The second-year guard just missed recording his second double-double in the last three games, while the five combined steals and blocks tied his season high. George has scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 19.3 points, 7.6 boards, 5.6 assists, 2.4 threes, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks during that surge.

George checked out at the 11:35 mark of the fourth quarter and went to the locker room to have his ankle evaluated by medical staff. He returned to the bench but didn't check back into the game, so his ankle injury could put him in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
