George left early Saturday's win in Chicago with a finger injury one game after scoring 30 in Friday’s victory over the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 76ers star has endured an up-and-down season, but a conversation with his parents helped jumpstart him into a better mindset on the court.

George did not play the second half after suffering an injury to the pinky finger on his left hand. The game also held tiebreaker implications for the Sixers, who trail the Bulls in the standings.

Surprise: Paul George (finger) is hurt again, and the 76ers continue to stack up more injuries than wins this season.

Tyrese Maxey had 31 points and nine assists, Kelly Oubre Jr. added 22 points and 12 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 109-97 on Saturday night for their second straight victory.
