Paul George Manages Nine Points Before Precautionary Exit
5 months agoLos Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said forward Paul George (ankle) could have played in the second half of Tuesday's eventual 119-99 blowout win over the Sacramento Kings, but he did not return after the team announced that he was dealing with left-groin soreness. Lue said there was no update on George's status after the game. George's night was cut short to a season-low 16 minutes, managing nine points, six rebounds, two threes, and two steals before it concluded. PG13 has been a first-round fantasy commodity in aggregate value during 2023-24, having not missed a single game yet this season after experiencing tough injury luck during most of his Clippers tenure to this point. If George can't suit up on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors, look for one of Terance Mann, Russell Westbrook, or Norman Powell to enter L.A.'s starting group.
