The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without superstar small forward Paul George for the second consecutive game on Saturday.

George won't play against the San Antonio Spurs due to right shoulder soreness. He missed Thursday's contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers as well. OKC lost to Philly by a final score of 108-104.

The Thunder are 38-23 on the season, which is good for third place in the Western Conference standings. OKC, however, has lost three in a row and four out of its last five games.

In 59 games this season, Paul George is having the best statistical year of his NBA career. The six-time All-Star is averaging 28.6 points per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 39.8 percent from beyond the arc and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line.

George is second in the NBA in scoring, trailing only Houston Rockets superstar guard James Harden (36.6). The swingman has 19 double-doubles and one triple-double on the season. The connection George has with Thunder star point guard Russell Westbrook is great, and the two have formed one of the most dynamic duos in the league.

George's shoulder ailment seems to be a relatively minor issue. OKC is likely just being cautious with their star forward. After Saturday's game against the Spurs, the Thunder take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday in a back-to-back.
