Paul George doesn’t know when he will be ready to return from his sprained right knee, “but I’m gonna do whatever I can do to shorten the process,” the All-Star forward said on his podcast.
His Clippers also are not in any position to make long-term plans — but they’re trying to do whatever they can to extend how long they are playing, just in case a return is possible.
In their third game since George injured his leg, and with Kawhi Leonard back in the lineup after taking an elbow to his face two nights earlier, the Clippers pushed past Chicago 124-112 on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena to keep their tenuous hold on a first-round playoff series.
