George suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of Utah’s loss to Brooklyn on Friday. In his third year as a pro, George is having a breakout season, averaging 24.2 points, 6.6 assists and 4 rebounds per game. Sunday’s meeting with the Raptors will be just the third game George has missed this season.

Sunday begins a five-game road trip for the Jazz, where they’ll face the Raptors, Pacers, Hawks, Magic and Heat. Utah will be looking to snap a five-game losing streak on Sunday, but it won’t be easy with George officially being ruled out. George is second on the team in points, assists and minutes per game (34.4). He’s also shooting career highs from the field (45.9%) and 3-point range (37.7%).

George has taken a leap this season and is developing into a player who looks like a potential future All-Star. Many of his numbers are up significantly across the board, including nearly an eight-point increase in scoring after averaging 16.8 points per game last season. He’s become Utah’s second-most reliable player next to Lauri Markkanen.

Veteran forward Kevin Love is also listed as probable for Sunday due to illness, along with Jazz teammate Jusuf Nurkić, who also has an illness. The Jazz and Raptors tipoff at 6 p.m. ET Sunday from the Scotiabank Arena in downtown Toronto.
