2025 Fantasy Outlook
Since leaving Oklahoma City following the 2018-19 campaign, George has played more than 56 regular-season games only once, including 41 appearances last season. The veteran dealt with numerous injuries during the 2024-25 campaign. If that wasn't enough for the oft-injured forward, he needed another surgery this offseason after tweaking his left knee during a workout. While he's expected to be ready for training camp, it'd be malpractice to operate under the assumption that George will be able to handle a full superstar workload to start the 2025-26 campaign, regardless of how well his rehab goes. Fellow superstars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will likely be in the same boat after missing extended time as well, but Maxey doesn't have the injury history of George or Embiid. With Philadelphia banged up last season, Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain showed flashes of immense potential. They could eat into the overall usage when they get hot, plus rookie No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe will need to be integrated into the offense. That said, George will make over $50 million per year for the next three seasons (player option for 2027-28), so when he's on the court, the 76ers will need all the usage they can get out of him. The injuries have turned George into one of the more polarizing players in fantasy hoops. Over the last five years, he has had a top-10 finish in eight-category leagues and ended outside the top 150 twice. Read Past Outlooks
To be re-evaluated this week
George (knee) is moving closer to a return to game action and will be re-evaluated later this week, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
George underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in July and has yet to make his season debut, though he is seemingly inching closer to a return to the floor. Charania noted that the veteran forward is "in the final stage of his debut process," though doctors want him to strengthen his left quadriceps to support his knee. George is coming off an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign in which he appeared in just 41 regular-season games, finishing with averages of 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting just 43.0 percent from the field in 32.5 minutes per game.

After spending an injury-riddled five years on the Clippers, George signed a four-year max contract with the 76ers over the summer. George still provided All-Star caliber numbers over the past half-decade, averaging 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 33.3 minutes. But he appeared in just 263 total games, playing more than 56 games in a season just once (last year; 74 games). That's resulted in fantasy managers trusting him less and less, and he's slipped to a third-round fantasy pick over the past two years. That will likely be the case again this year. One healthy season shouldn't convince anyone that George is now an iron man. He's also entering his age-34 season, around the time we typically start to see more decline in both health and performance. In joining the 76ers, George projects as the team's third option behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Though, with the team's weak bench and Embiid's own injury woes, George should have plenty of opportunities to control the offense and launch shots. Ultimately, managers chasing upside can probably still grab him in the third round, while managers concerned about age and injury risk may want to see if he's still available in the fourth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Inching closer to return
George is in the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury and will be re-evaluated later this week, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
George is moving closer to a return, and the upcoming evaluation could paint a clearer picture regarding when he might be able to return to the hardwood. According to Charania, the doctors want additional strength in his left quadriceps to support the knee before clearance in an attempt to avoid the injury from recurring. George has yet to play in the 2025-26 season.
