He might have been the unexpected engine that drove the Boston Celtics' 123-101 road blowout of the Philadelphia 76ers, but vet forward Paul George will not be suiting up for their second game in as many days vs. the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday (Nov. 11) night.
The man that led the charge for the Celtics against the Sixers Monday night in the front end of a back-to-back will be out resting due to illness according to the team's most recent injury report. And given George led the Celtics with 36 points, 5 rebounds, and an assist, the man will probably benefit from a night off vs. a team Boston should be able to beat with both Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard out even with the former 76ers sitting for the contest.
The game, to be played in Canada
at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, is the last of a four-game road trip for Boston before they will return to TD Garden for a two-game home stand kicking off with a tilt against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday (Nov. 15).
