Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said that George won't require a ramp-up period and will be ready to play Wednesday against the Bulls after completing his 25-game suspension, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

George served the final game of his suspension in Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder and is now eligible to return to the court Wednesday for his first appearance since Jan. 29. Nurse appeared confident that George will hit the ground running, as he noted Monday that the star forward will essentially be a full go in his first game back. The Fresno State product was averaging 16.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 27 games before being slapped with a 25-game ban for violating the league's anti-drug program.
