George’s grandmother, Andrea George-Carrington shared three photos and a video of the guard walking up the stairs at the American Airlines Center.

“Key is good, happy, laughing, cutting up,” George-Carrington wrote. “Praise God.”

The post is a positive sign after George had to be carried off the floor by teammates, unable to put any weight on his left leg.

The fall came one play after George hit a difficult three falling out of bounds where the floor needed to be mopped.

The second-year guard had 14 points and three rebounds on 4-5 shooting from the three-point line before leaving the game..

George had played well through his first two preseason appearances. The 16th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft was averaging 12.5 points and 4.5 assists while shooting 54 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three.

The Jazz are back in action on Saturday night in San Antonio. The team has not yet updated his status for the meeting with the Spurs.
