Wizards' Kyshawn George: Scores 15 Points in Loss
Former West Virginia Mountaineer Makes NBA Debut
Kyshawn George, a former standout for the West Virginia Mountaineers, made his NBA debut on Wednesday night for the Washington Wizards. George, who was signed to a two-way contract by the Wizards in July, played 15 minutes off the bench and scored 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting.
George's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing night for the Wizards, who lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 118-109. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 25 points, but the team struggled to keep up with the Grizzlies' high-powered offense.
Despite the loss, George's debut was a positive sign for the Wizards. The 23-year-old forward showed that he can be a valuable contributor off the bench, and he has the potential to develop into a solid NBA player.
George's Stats in NBA Debut
- 15 points
- 6-of-12 shooting
- 3-of-6 from three-point range
- 2 rebounds
- 2 assists
- 1 steal
- 1 block
George's performance was particularly impressive considering that he was playing against one of the best teams in the NBA. The Grizzlies are currently the third seed in the Western Conference, and they have one of the most talented rosters in the league.
George's debut is a reminder that the Wizards have a lot of young talent on their roster. The team is still in a rebuilding mode, but they have a lot of promising players who could help them contend for a playoff spot in the future.
