George left early Saturday's win in Chicago with a finger injury one game after scoring 30 in Friday’s victory over the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.

George, 34, has had an underwhelming debut season with the 76ers, averaging 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. George is set to miss his 16th game of the season, amid his worst statistical year in about a decade.

Surprise: Paul George (finger) is hurt again, and the 76ers continue to stack up more injuries than wins this season.

Tyrese Maxey's 31 points powered the Sixers, who also lost Paul George to injury in the 2nd quarter, to a win over the Bulls on Saturday night.Tyrese Maxey leads Sixers over Bulls, Paul George exits d

Nurse has been favoring the combination of Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson off the bench as of late and turned to the two proven veterans on Wednesday to join Tyrese Maxey out on the floor. What the three of them did was help turn the game around as the Sixers rallied to beat the Kings 117-104.

Tyrese Maxey and Darius Garland, two of the top young point guards in the Eastern Conference, faced off on Friday night. The Sixers snapped their seven-game losing streak in the most impressive way possible, outlasting the Cavaliers and their NBA-best record Friday night 132-129.

Maxey scored 43 points for the Sixers, who again played without All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George among others.

Tyrese Maxey had 31 points and nine assists, Kelly Oubre Jr. added 22 points and 12 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 109-97 on Saturday night for their second straight victory.

George did not play the second half after suffering an injury to the pinky finger on his left hand. The game also held tiebreaker implications for the Sixers, who trail the Bulls in the standings.

With their hard-earned victory on Wednesday, a 117-104 triumph over the Sacramento Kings, the Sixers are suddenly winners of four straight games and will likely finish the night tied for a Play-In Tournament spot in the Eastern Conference.

Powell prognosticated before the season started that other players could step up and fill the void left by Paul George. He backed that up by turning into one of the league's premier tough shot-makers. He's hit a scorching 43.5 percent of his 3's this year and come up with some huge buckets to help them to their No. 6 standing in the West.
