George amassed 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime victory over the Bucks.
George saw a slight uptick in minutes compared to his season debut and posted a better output overall, as this was his first game with at least 20 points. George's availability will be decided on a game-to-game basis, but if he stays healthy, the veteran forward should be a reliable weapon on offense.

76ers' Paul George: Logs 21 minutes in return
Rotowire
George (knee) provided nine points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Monday's 110-108 win over the Clippers.
George played his first game of the season following his July 14 arthroscopic left knee surgery, contributing on both ends of the floor while handling a limited minutes count. Despite his rough shooting performance from both the field and free-throw line, George was able to compensate for his offensive struggles by making an impact on the defensive end. While the 76ers will likely ramp him up slowly and hold him out of one half of back-to-back sets, George is still deserving of a roster spot in just about every fantasy format.
