This ends what has been a fantastic summer league for the surprising Jazz guard. George has been phenomenal on the offensive end with both his passing and scoring. You name it, he’s been incredible whether it’s running pick and roll, pull-up shooting, spot-up shooting, passing to cutters in the lane, entry passes, getting to the free throw line, he’s done everything.
This is surely disappointing for George who had said he wanted to win Summer League MVP and that will likely not happen now.
The good news is that it’s not serious. George’s ankle bent severely and things could have been much worse. Now he’ll be rehabbing as he prepares for training camp and the best thing he can do is nurse the ankle back to health.
