Paul George will return to the lineup Tuesday vs. Timberwolves

Thunder forward Paul George will return to the starting lineup on the road Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Erik Horne of The Oklahoman.

George has missed the past three games for the Thunder due to right shoulder soreness. Head coach Billy Donovan said at shootaround that George had made progress and the team would make a decision on his status closer to the start of the game.

Without George, the Thunder have gone 1-2 in the three games he has missed due to the injury.

Now that George is available to play, the rotations should fall back to normal. The team twice started Dennis Schroder in his place and went with Markieff Morris once.

The Timberwolves were two-point favorites heading into the matchup but that line figures to change with George back in the lineup.
