George (ankle) totaled 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the Knicks. After missing Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with an ankle issue, George didn't miss a beat Wednesday while turning in his third consecutive game with at least 25 points. The 34-year-old forward is beginning to look like the All-Star version of himself fantasy managers have grown accustomed seeing to over the years, as George is averaging 22.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.7 threes while shooting 44.1 percent from beyond the arc across his last seven contests. Should former MVP Joel Embiid (foot) remain on the shelf for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers, George would continue handling additional playmaking duties for the 76ers, which would also likely translate to amplified fantasy value.

76ers Injury Report
George (ankle) totaled 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the Knicks. After missing Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with an ankle issue, George didn't miss a beat Wednesday while turning in his third consecutive game with at least 25 points. The 34-year-old forward is beginning to look like the All-Star version of himself fantasy managers have grown accustomed seeing to over the years, as George is averaging 22.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.7 threes while shooting 44.1 percent from beyond the arc across his last seven contests. Should former MVP Joel Embiid (foot) remain on the shelf for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers, George would continue handling additional playmaking duties for the 76ers, which would also likely translate to amplified fantasy value.
Oubre posted 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the Knicks. Oubre registered his fifth double-double of the campaign Wednesday, providing a full stat line for the 76ers as well. The 29-year-old swingman has hit double-digit points and recorded multiple steals in six of his last seven outings, a stretch during which he's averaging 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 steals, 1.7 assists and 0.7 threes in 37.4 minutes. Oubre should continue taking on an augmented role for however long the absence of superstar big man Joel Embiid (foot) lasts.
Maxey (hand) finished Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the Knicks with 33 points (13-32 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 46 minutes. It was a fifth straight game with at least 29 points for Maxey, who fought off a hand injury as he continued to act as Philadelphia's top scoring option in the absence of Joel Embiid (foot) on Wednesday. Maxey has been sensational for the 76ers over his last eight appearances in which Embiid has been out of the lineup since Dec. 16, as the former is averaging 30.8 points, 6.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 3.8 threes in 40.4 minutes during those instances. If Embiid can't return for Saturday's matchup with Indiana, Maxey would be primed for extreme usage once again.
Council will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. With Paul George (ankle) back for the 76ers on Wednesday, Council will head back to the bench against New York. Council has averaged 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 30 games off the bench this season.
Jackson will go back to the second unit following Tyrese Maxey's return to the starting lineup, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. Jackson started for Maxey, who missed Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a hand injury. With Jackson back on the bench, expect him to see a decline in minutes moving forward.
George (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. After missing Tuesday's game against the Thunder, George has been cleared to play Wednesday and shouldn't face any noticeable minutes restrictions. The star forward is averaging 21.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists over his last six games.
Maxey (hand) will play Wednesday against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. Maxey missed Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City due to injury but is slated to make his return against New York. Maxey is averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 0.4 blocks over 37.5 minutes this season.
Lowry (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Knicks. Lowry will miss his sixth game in a row Wednesday and does not have a timetable for a return. His next chance to play will be Saturday against the Pacers.
