The Oklahoma City Thunder are listing star small forward Paul George as questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

The Thunder say George is dealing with left shoulder soreness.

Paul George had a right shoulder problem in early March. Now, the left shoulder is bothering the All-Star swingman.

In 71 games this season for the Thunder, George is playing like an MVP. The six-time All-Star is averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.2 steals per contest while shooting 44.0 percent from the field, 38.8 percent beyond the arc, and 83.8 percent from the free throw line.

George has 23 double-doubles and one triple-double on the season. The Thunder are 44-31, which is good for seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

Over his last 12 games, PG is putting up 26.3 points while shooting 39.8 percent overall and 34.1 percent from the 3-point line. OKC, however, is just 5-7 during that stretch.

For the Thunder to go on a deep playoff run this season, they are going to need George to play like the superstar he is. Hopefully this shoulder ailment will go away once the postseason begins. OKC got bounced in the first round of the 2018 playoffs by the Utah Jazz, so the players are eager to atone for that loss this year.
