Keyonte George's grandma shares good injury news

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

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

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

The fall occurred one play after George hit a difficult three-pointer and fell out of bounds, where the floor had to be mopped.

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

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

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