The Phoenix Suns have been handed a boost ahead of their Play-Off series against Los Angeles Clippers, as Paul George could expected to miss the entirety of their first-round clash.
George has been out for the Clippers since March 21, having suffered a sprained right knee in their defeat to Oklahoma City Thunder. The NBA All-Star hyperextended it during the game, and has been in rehabilitation ever since with the intention to return for the Play-Offs.
But according to ESPN, George is expected to miss the entire first-round series, meaning that his hopes of playing again this season fall on the shoulders of his Clippers team-mates. Their task was already tough against a strengthened Suns side, but the roles of Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard are now even more vital.
