George ended Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers with nine points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 33 minutes.
George had a rough showing Monday and was particularly woeful from an efficiency perspective, as he missed nine of his 11 shots and couldn't reach double-digit scoring numbers for the first time since Nov. 30. George is still averaging 16.5 points, 5.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of December, so there's a chance this might have been nothing more than a down game for the second-year guard.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Just misses double-double Friday
Rotowire
George recorded 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 134-126 loss to the Suns.
The second-year point guard fell one assist short of his second double-double of the season and just the third of his career. George is growing more confident with his offense, scoring in double digits in 10 of the last 11 games and draining multiple threes nine times during that span. In those 11 contests, he's averaging 17.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.4 percent from the floor and 37.3 percent from long range.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Struggles with three-point shot
Rotowire
George provided 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder.
George posted a decent stat line across the board, especially considering the 27-point blowout loss. However, the second-year floor general continues to struggle with his shooting percentages. He's making just 38.2 percent of his shots from the field and 32.9 percent from deep, and both figures represent a decrease compared to the numbers he posted as a rookie. George is also averaging 3.4 turnovers per game, a sizable uptick after he committed 2.5 per game as a rookie. The counting stats are on the rise, but his efficiency is trending in the wrong direction.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Logs 18 points in defeat
Rotowire
George recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound and six assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 loss to the Lakers.
George had success beyond the arc in the win, upping his three-point conversion rate to 32.7 percent. George is shooting only 36.6 percent from the floor over 13 games, a category that needs significant improvement. Despite the slump, he's still averaging 14.9 points per game while dishing out an average of 5.5 assists.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient line in defeat
Rotowire
George notched 19 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Kings.
George is beginning to trend back up after a slow game against Phoenix earlier in the week. George's 19 points marked his second-highest point total of the season. His season-high 33-point performance against Chicago has proven to be an outlier, as the rest of his results hover in the 10-15 point range.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
George ended Saturday's 129-103 loss to the Nuggets with 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists in 32 minutes.
George finished just two assists away from a double-double, but more importantly, he committed just two turnovers after losing the ball seven times in the 106-88 loss to the Spurs on Thursday. George has struggled with his shot in the opening stages of the season, and despite averaging 13.7 points with 6.5 assists per tilt, he's making just 30.3 percent of his field goals.
George recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs.
George has started every game this season, but his shooting has left a lot to be desired. He made matters worse during Thursday's game with seven turnovers. Putting Collin Sexton in the first unit on a more consistent basis could be a reasonable short-term solution for the Jazz, allowing George to work out the kinks with the second unit.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
George posted 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to the Kings.
George delivered his first double-double of the season, but he also posted his worst scoring mark of the campaign, and the shooting woes are simply too glaring to ignore. Through four games, the second-year guard is shooting just 26.2 percent from the field and 22.6 percent from deep. That's not going to cut it, especially considering how much he has the ball in his hands. Fantasy managers should trust George to turn things around, but his lack of efficiency limits his upside.
George recorded 12 points (3-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), two rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-124 loss to the Grizzlies.
George had a rough performance from a shooting perspective in this season opener. However, the second-year guard should have all the opportunities in the world to shake off the rust as the season progresses. George will remain the Jazz's starting point guard and should see enough minutes to be a consistent performer regularly for a rebuilding Utah team.

Rotowire
George has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks due to a mild left knee sprain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. George finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes.
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 to ensure he heads into the regular season at full strength.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient in preseason win
Rotowire
George notched 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five assists across 23 minutes in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.
George was one of three starters who surpassed the 20-minute mark in the preseason opener and looked sharp, missing just two shots from the field and getting his teammates involved early and often. George will open his second season in The Association as the Jazz's starting point guard and as one of the team's go-to players on offense alongside Lauri Markkanen.

George generated 31 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 93-85 win over the 76ers in Salt Lake City Summer League.
George has scored at least 30 points in both Summer League games he's played in Salt Lake, but he needed only 15 shots to reach the milestone Wednesday after going 5-for-21 from the field in Utah's Summer League opener. George has totaled nine assists over his two appearances.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Sitting out Tuesday
Rotowire
George (rest) will not play in the Jazz's Salt Lake City Summer League matchup versus the Thunder on Tuesday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
George scored a game-high 30 points in the club's Summer League opener against the Grizzlies. However, he will sit Tuesday as the Jazz take a look at their crowded rookie class of Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski. George was a key contributor in 2023-24, during which he averaged 13.0 points, 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 27.0 minutes in 75 regular-season games. The 20-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the 76ers.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Finishes season on high note
Rotowire
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.
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.

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. In those four contests, he has connected on at least two threes in every game.
