Kiyante George is off the injury report and ready to play after sitting out the Wizards game for ankle management. Meanwhile, second-year guard Isaiah Collier has been downgraded to out for personal reasons. George missed a second game of a back-to-back to protect his ankle following a longer absence earlier. With an extra day of rest before facing Milwaukee, he's set to return strong. He's having a breakout season, averaging 24 points, nearly 4 rebounds, and over 6 assists and 51 games. In his first two games back, George dropped 36 points on the Denver Nuggets and 30 on the Philadelphia 76ers, showing no rest. Without Lori Marken in sideline by a hip issue, George steps up as the top scorer. Collier has been a steady force lately, especially since early February. He's averaged about 18 points, 9 assists, and two steals over 14 games, including a career high, 27 points, and 11 assists.
