76ers' Paul George: Paces Philadelphia in blowout loss
Rotowire
George supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes in Monday's 137-98 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
George turned in an efficient performance Monday, knocking down a game-high four triples while leading Philadelphia in scoring despite a blowout loss that kept him off the floor in the fourth quarter. The veteran forward also paced the first unit in assists. He has now hit at least three three-pointers in six straight games, scoring 16-plus points in five of them. George will look to remain productive in Game 2 on Wednesday as the Sixers try to steal a game at Madison Square Garden.

76ers' Paul George: Working through illness
Rotowire
George is listed as probable for Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Celtics on Saturday due to an illness, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
George played a key role in the Sixers' Game 6 win on Thursday, when he logged 23 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 40 minutes. Given that Saturday is an elimination game, George will likely try and play through his ailment, though he could be facing a reduced workload if his condition worsens over the course of the day. If that were to be the case, then Justin Edwards and Kelly Oubre would step into larger roles for the Sixers behind the superstar duo of Joel Embiid (abdomen) and Tyrese Maxey.

Rotowire
George had 19 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Celtics in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

76ers' Paul George: Takes only eight shots Sunday
Rotowire
George recorded 17 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during the Sixers' 123-91 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday.
George had less field-goal attempts than both VJ Edgecombe (16) and Kelly Oubre (14), but George's work at the charity stripe still led to him finishing as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (21 points). The Sixers could be without Joel Embiid (appendectomy) for the opening round of the playoffs, so George may need to be more selfish on offense to alleviate some of the burden off Maxey's shoulders.
76ers' Paul George: Scores 21 points vs. former team
Rotowire
George logged 21 points (9-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 105-94 victory over the Pacers.
George posted a decent stat line against one of his former teams, as he played the first seven seasons of his career in Indiana. The veteran forward should be the Sixers' No. 2 option on offense behind Tyrese Maxey as long as Joel Embiid remains out while recovering from appendicitis. George is ending the season on a strong note, as he's scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings. If he suits up for Sunday's regular-season finale, he should handle a steady workload on offense once again.
