Paul George has been ruled out of the remainder of the regular season but could return in time for the NBA Playoffs if the Los Angeles Clippers embark on a postseason run without one of their star men.
With blockbuster signings Kawhi Leonard and George joining the team in 2019, the Clippers have been riddled with injuries and ultimately struggled to get any momentum. It seemed like the franchise were finally set to enter the Play-Offs with a hungry and talented roster, but George went down against the Oklahoma City Thunder - his former team.
With just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ 101-100 loss to the Thunder, George went up for a defensive rebound and came down awkwardly, appearing to hyperextend his right leg in an alarming way. The 32-year-old limped off with the assistance of Clippers staff members.
