George amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 114-101 loss to the Mavericks in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

George was asked to carry the Clippers offensively in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee), but he ended the series on a sour note, as he couldn't reach the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances. In fact, George surpassed the 22-point mark just once in the six contests against the Mavericks, and his numbers throughout the series were disappointing. He averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from three-point range. Those were a clear decline compared to his regular-season figures, and it might be fair to wonder if the Clippers are going to bring him back for 2024-25, or if they might look at potential trade options during the offseason.

George recorded 33 points (11-19 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals across 43 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Mavericks in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

George led all players in Sunday's contest in threes made while ending with a team-high-tying point total and leading all Clippers players in assists and steals to help Los Angeles get a much-needed win to even the series with Dallas entering Game 5. George's point and assist totals were his highest of the series thus far, and he's tallied at least 20 points in three straight games. George and James Harden will need to continue to lead the Clippers as they attempt to take a series lead in Game 5 in Los Angeles.

George racked up seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

George was non-existent in the loss, putting up his worst performance in quite some time. The Clippers managed to hang around but were never really in the contest. George is going to have to be much better when the two teams line up again Sunday if the Clippers hope to return home with the series tied up.

George registered 22 points (8-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 win over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

George had a strong performance from deep in Sunday's Game 1 victory, connecting on a quartet of threes while ending second on the team in scoring and as one of three Clippers with 20 or more points in a winning effort. George, who also hauled in a half-dozen rebounds, concluded the regular season by scoring at least 20 points in six of his final 10 outings. George and teammate James Harden will continue to function as the top offensive options for the Clippers if Kawhi Leonard (knee) misses additional time.

George (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

George wasn't listed on any of the Clippers' injury reports but has been ruled out a few minutes after not being included in the starting lineup. He'll turn his sights on preparing for Game 1 of the opening-round series against Dallas next weekend.

George has not been ruled out of Sunday's regular-season finale, but he is not in the starting lineup against Houston, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Clippers are starting Xavier Moon, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, P.J. Tucker and Mason Plumlee, so George may just be available as an emergency option. If he does not play, the star wing will finish the regular season with averages of 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.3 triples across 33.8 minutes per game.

George (knee) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Jazz, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

The expected return of George for Friday's game against the Jazz is a welcome sign for a Clippers team that will be without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and possibly James Harden (foot). Thus, George should experience a high usage rate Friday, as the Clippers would lock up the fourth seed in the Western Conference with a win over Utah.

George has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to left knee soreness, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

George will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set after leading the Clippers to a win over the Suns on Tuesday. Kawhi Leonard (knee) and James Harden (foot) also remain out, while Russell Westbrook (hand) and Ivica Zubac (ankle) are questionable. George's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Utah.

George provided 23 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 105-92 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

George was the catalyst who helped the Clippers generate a 31-point lead over the Suns after one quarter, and although the Suns attempted a late rally, George stayed on the court for most of the game to seal the win. The Clippers' offensive engine was impressive considering absences from Kawhi Leonard (knee) and James Harden (foot), especially against All-Star talents like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The team travels home to face the Suns again in a back-to-back, and George should be heavily involved if Leonard and Harden remain out.

George totaled 39 points (10-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 16-16 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 44 minutes during Sunday's 120-118 victory over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

George scored 23 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter to help the Clippers rally from a 26-point deficit Sunday. He also connected on the go-ahead jumper with seven seconds to play. Despite Kawhi Leonard missing the last four games due to right knee inflammation, George and the Clippers have gone 3-1 over that span and remain in fourth place in the Western Conference. Since March 1, George is averaging 24.4 points on 51.1 percent shooting (including 45.4 percent from three), 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals over 34.8 minutes per game.
