In his pregame press conference, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan stated that Paul George will be a game-time decision in the matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. George was recently sidelined with right-shoulder soreness. George is expected to participate in team warm-ups before being re-examined.
