Struggles in season-ending loss George ended with seven points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 85-76 loss to Creighton.

Impact George continued his struggling performance down the stretch of the season, as he logged 11 or fewer points for the fourth game in a row to end the 2022-23 campaign. The true highly-talented freshman also shot just 23.1 percent from the field over his final four outings. George's play may have been hampered by an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for one game near the end of the regular season. Either way, George's freshman campaign should still be considered an overall success, as he averaged 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists while attempting 12.5 field-goal attempts per game over 33 starts.

Zach Edey, Trayce Jackson-Davis headline top 25 performances of season

Scores seven points George chipped in seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 73-58 loss to Iowa State.

Impact George logged seven points (3-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT) across his last two games played. He will enter tournament action without positive scoring momentum. Even so, George will receive sufficient opportunities to be a valued scorer during relatively easier games the Bears should win before March Madness comes around.

Good to go Saturday George (ankle) is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Iowa State.

Impact George is set to play Saturday after missing the previous game with an ankle injury. The freshman guard will replace Langston Love (eye) in the starting five.

Questionable against Iowa State George (ankle) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Iowa State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact George missed Monday's game versus Oklahoma State due to an ankle injury he suffered against Texas. The freshman guard is averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.9 minutes across 29 contests this season.

Top freshman George out for No. 7 Baylor with ankle sprain

Freshman standout Keyonte George is out for seventh-ranked Baylor’s game at Oklahoma State because of a right ankle sprain

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • Associated Press

Won't play Monday George (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact George suffered a mild right ankle sprain during Saturday's win over Texas and is considered day-to-day for now. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, while his final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Saturday against Iowa State.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to return George (ankle) is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against Texas, Seth Davis of CBS Sports reports.

Impact George rolled his ankle and is not expected to return. The freshman guard will finish with 0 points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3PT), one rebound and two turnovers if he is unable to return.

George and No. 9 Baylor host No. 8 Texas

No. 9 Baylor hosts the No. 8 Texas Longhorns after Keyonte George scored 23 points in Baylor's 75-65 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • Associated Press

Leading scorer in loss George recorded 23 points (7-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 75-65 loss to Kansas State.

Impact George logged his second 20-point performance in a row, as he shot exactly 7-of-15 from the field in each of these two outings. The 6-foot-4 freshman has also splashed 11 of his 20 three-point tries over this pair of games, increasing his three-point percentage to 35.8 on 7.2 three-point attempts per game this season. George's variance as a three-point shooter has made him a rather volatile fantasy scorer during conference action, and he's averaged 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists since the start of Big 12 play.

FEBRUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Versatile production in win George finished with six points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 79-67 victory over West Virginia.

Impact George matched his season high for assists while also posting both his most rebounds and steals of any game this season. The 6-foot-4 freshman has largely been a score-first guard for the Bears this season, hitting 38.6 percent of his 13.2 field-goal tries per game. Therefore, this do-it-all production was somewhat of an outlier given his 4.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game. George has now averaged 5.0 points while attempting just 6.0 field-goal attempts per game across his last two outings, so he'll look to break this scoring slump Saturday against Kansas.

Keyonte George had 23 points and Adam Flagler scored 20 as 14th-ranked Baylor held on to beat Oklahoma 82-72

FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • Associated Press

Inefficient outing in loss George finished with 17 points (5-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and four rebounds over 30 minutes during Monday's 76-71 loss to Texas.

Impact George finished as the Longhorns' second-leading scorer behind junior LJ Cryer (19). However, the 6-foot-4 freshman's final stat line was marred by his 0-for-7 start to the game. George will look to avoid a slow beginning during Baylor's next game Saturday against Texas Tech.

JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in win George produced 24 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 67-64 victory over Arkansas.

Impact George's scoring production bounced back after scoring 11 and eight in the Bears' previous two games. The 6-foot-4 freshman also posted a season-high 20 field-goal attempts Saturday after averaging 11.5 field-goal attempts and six three-throw tries over the previous two games. George has averaged 19.4 points while converting 38 percent of his 14.3 field-goal attempts and 77.5 percent of his 7.9 free-throw tries over the last nine games. He's also added 4.7 boards and 2.3 assists per game over that span, making him Baylor's most productive overall fantasy player.

Keyonte George scored 27 points, powering No. 21 Baylor to an 81-74 victory against Texas Tech. George scored 18 points in the second half as the Bear won their third in a row

JANUARY 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Posts another prolific performance George finished Tuesday's 81-74 victory over Texas Tech with 27 points (8-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes.

Impact George logged at least 27 points for the third time in six Big 12 games, and he's now averaged 22.0 points while taking 14.3 field-goal tries per contest over this span. The 6-foot-4 freshman has taken on a prominent role since his first day with Baylor this season, as he's served as the lead focal point in this offense ahead of experienced guards Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer. George has now shot 36.2 percent on his 7.7 three-point tries per game over 18 starts. Expect him to continue putting up high point totals and consistent rebounding and assist numbers moving forward.
