In a last minute pre-game decision it was announced OKC Thunder star Paul George will return to the lineup in his regular starting spot.
This is a bit of a shock as the OKC Thunder seemed to be leaning toward George being out. Then again, this might have been a case of cat and mouse which often occurs in the Association. The resulting effect of a team like the Minnesota Timberwolves thinking Paul George was out is they might not adequately prepare for the task of handling the MVP candidate.
Conversely, it may have simply been a case of George wanting to see how his shoulder felt in shootaround.
