Just misses double-double Friday 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.

Impact 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.

Trending in right direction George totaled 25 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.

Impact George notched his best scoring output since Nov. 26, when he posted 26 points in a loss to the Spurs. This was just his fourth game with more than 20 points, so the second-year guard needs to find more consistency as a scorer amid what has been a rough stretch for the Jazz. He seems to be trending in the right direction, though, as he's averaging 18.0 points per game while shooting 51 percent from the floor in his four outings this month.

Struggles with three-point shot 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.

Impact 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 when it comes to 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.

Impact Jordan Clarkson's (foot) absence has maximized output for George and Colin Sexton, as the second-unit lacks reliability without the team's best sixth man in tow. George is off to an excellent start this season, averaging 15.6 points, 5.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds over 16 games.

Impact George had success beyond the arc in the win, upping his three-point conversion rate to 32.7 percent. George is only shooting 36.6 percent from the floor over 13 games, a category that needs significant improvement.

Efficient line in defeat 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.

Impact 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.

Quiet in return Tuesday George totaled nine points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Suns.

Impact George returned from a one-game absence due to a foot sprain, sliding straight back into the starting lineup. Despite playing a sizeable role, George has been unable to take his game to the next level as many had hoped for. Outside of one offensive explosion in which he scored a season-high 33 points in a win over the Bulls, it's been rough going for the sophomore. He is shooting just 32.3 percent from the floor this season, a number that needs to come up should he hope to establish himself as an elite NBA guard.

Impact George led Utah's scoring attach with the help of six made triples, his best mark of the young campaign. The Baylor product hasn't been shy from downtown over his last two appearances, hoisting up 23 total attempts from beyond the arc. George was also dangerous passing the ball Monday night, falling just one assist shy of his second double-double.

Comes close to double-double 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.

Impact 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.

Commits career-high seven turnovers 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.

Impact 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.

Shooting woes continue 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.

Impact 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 is limiting his upside.

Best scoring output of season George provided 17 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact George surpassed the 15-point mark for the first time this season in this game, but there's no question the sophomore guard has been slumping to start the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game through his first three appearances, and while those numbers are good enough to keep him rostered and starting in most formats, he needs to find a way to improve his shooting percentages -- and soon. He's making just 27.1 percent of his shots, as well as 23.8 percent of his threes, to open the campaign.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Poor shooting effort Wednesday 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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Third-year option exercised The Jazz exercised the third-year option on George's rookie contract Monday.

Impact This allows Utah to keep George under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. He entered the starting lineup late in the 2023-24 regular season due to injuries to Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson, and over his last 28 starts, George averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game. George is expected to run with the first unit with Sexton while Clarkson serves in a sixth-man role.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Excels in backcourt during win George produced 24 points (7-14 FG, 3-103Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, three rebounds and a blocked shot across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.

Impact George assumed a lot of responsibility late in the season when Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson both went down with injuries, but the rookie responded well. Even with Sexton and Clarkson full healthy, George is projected to run with the first unit, relegating Clarkson to the sixth-man role that has become his hallmark. The second-year player still needs to improve his shot efficiency and show up more on defense, but he has all the tools to succeed alongside Sexton in the backcourt.

Gets start in return George (knee/rest) will start in Tuesday's pregame matchup against the Kings, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact George was absent for Saturday's game against the Spurs after tweaking his knee Thursday versus the Mavericks. However, the 20-year-old is back and will likely be fully ready for Opening Night against the Grizzlies next Wednesday.
