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.

The Philadelphia 76ers (16-27) started a back-to-back with a home matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-8). The Sixers ran neck-and-neck with one of the best teams in basketball, snapping a seven-game skid by a final score of 132-129.

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.
