Kyshawn George amassed 13 points (4-of-10 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in 25 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers.
George only returned to the Wizards’ lineup on Tuesday after missing seven games with a sprained ankle. If anything, managers in active leagues with the rookie rostered should be pleased that he played both ends of a back-to-back at this stage in the season. George will likely take on a similar workload for Washington’s final two games, but he can still provide value. Colby Jones has played rotation minutes off the bench, and he finished Wednesday’s loss with 13 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 32 minutes. There’s been room for him and George in the rotation, making both worth the risk in deep leagues.
