• 76ers' Paul George: Muted production in return

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  George (finger) logged nine points (3-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three steals, two assists, one rebound and one block across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 108-101 loss to Miami. George tore a tendon in his left pinkie finger and missed five consecutive games before suiting up Wednesday. Though the 76ers didn't ease him back in with a light workload, George exhibited some rust and said after the game that he'll need to wear a brace to protect the injured finger for at least six weeks, per Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com. The 34-year-old forward has endured an injury-plagued first season in Philadelphia, appearing in 31 of the 76ers' 50 games while averaging 16.9 points (on 42.5 percent shooting from the field), 5.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.8 steals in 32.0 minutes per game.

The star forward has averaged 21.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes over his last six games. George should be able to handle close to a full workload against Miami.

  George (finger) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. George, who's missed five straight games, completed an on-court workout Saturday and was a full participant at Monday's practice, but he was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game. He's now a game-time decision, but even if he's cleared to return to the 76ers' starting lineup, George will likely face some restrictions.

  George (finger) was a full participant at Monday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. George completed an on-court workout Saturday and then followed that up with a full practice Monday. Head coach Nick Nurse previously said Sunday that George could return to action by the end of the week, so while the veteran forward will remain out Tuesday versus the Mavericks, he could be cleared to return to action Wednesday versus the Heat or Friday at Detroit.
