Ends preseason with diverse line George logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks over 27 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.

Nets 21 points on seven shots George produced 21 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and three steals over 25 minutes in Monday's 131-119 preseason loss to the Nets.

Impact George was dialed in, missing only one shot while he was out there, and he was one of the few Washington players to finish with a positive plus-minus rating. George showed some impressive flashes last season, but he may struggle to assert himself in the offense when working alongside Trae Young, Anthony Davis, AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr.

Comes close to double-double George registered 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and a block across 22 minutes in Thursday's 111-109 preseason win over the Knicks.

Impact George contributed across multiple categories, finishing tied for second on the team in rebounds and leading Washington in assists. George also showed his well-known ability to stretch the floor, and he was one of four Wizards who drained multiple threes in this win. The third-year guard looks penciled in to open the 2026-27 regular season as the Wizards' starting shooting guard, and his combination of playmaking, rebounding and perimeter shooting makes him an intriguing fantasy contributor.

Notches nine points for Canada George (elbow) finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes for Canada in Friday's 110-84 World Cup Qualifiers win over Peurto Rico.

Impact George missed the end of the 2025-26 regular season with a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, but he's since been deemed 100 percent. The Wizards are noticeably deeper heading into 2026-27, as Anthony Davis (finger) is expected to be healthy and the team drafted AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

More competition for minutes George's (elbow) role becomes less certain after Washington added another high-upside wing prospect in AJ Dybantsa at the top of the draft.

Impact The third-year forward displayed intriguing playmaking ability and positional versatility during his sophomore campaign, but the Wizards now possess considerable depth on the wing. George is currently penciled in as the starting shooting guard, though his offensive opportunities may fluctuate depending on lineup combinations -- the Wizards also just re-signed Trae Young (quadriceps) and will be welcoming Anthony Davis (finger) to the mix.

Out for season George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow and the Wizards had no incentive to rush him back to the court for the last couple weeks. The forward appeared in 48 regular-season contests with averages of 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 43.8 percent shooting from the field.

Not yet ready for return George (elbow) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The team has yet to provide much of an update on his timeline for a return, and there doesn't seem to be much sense in rushing him back for the final few games of the regular season. George can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game in Miami until further notice.

Impact George is dealing with a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, an issue that has kept him sidelined since March 3. The Wizards are planning to take a conservative approach with George, so it wouldn't be surprising for next week's update to be negative. While George has been out, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins have taken on larger roles. The Wizards have six regular-season games after George's set re-evaluation date of April 1.

To be re-evaluated in three weeks The Wizards announced Wednesday that George has been diagnosed with a partial tear of the UCL in his left elbow and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact George sustained the injury in Monday's loss to Houston and won't return until late March at the very earliest. With the Wizards sitting at 16-45 on the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the club exercise extreme caution with the second-year wing for the remainder of the season. With George sidelined, Will Riley, Jamir Watkins (ankle) and Justin Champagnie are candidates for increased minutes.
