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.

Tyrese Maxey scored 43 points to lead a Philadelphia 76ers team without injured Joel Embiid and Paul George to a 118-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
