The Los Angeles Clippers' NBA title push took a major hit on Tuesday night as All-Star guard Paul George appeared to suffer a significant leg injury in their 101-100 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
George came off worse in a tussle for a rebound with Lu Dort and sunk to the floor late in the fourth quarter of the contest. The 32-year-old, alongside star man Kawhi Leonard, had been ramping up for a play-off push that could now be in disarray with the sight of a stricken George being carted away from the Crypto.com Arena with his right leg extended.
Information was scarce after the game, but it has now been confirmed he will be out for at least two weeks, and is therefore likely to miss the remainder of the season. Head coach Ty Lue admitted to being in the dark on George’s condition post game.
