LOS ANGELES — When the Clippers begin their longest trip in seven seasons Wednesday, there is hope that a boost of offense will be waiting for them in Denver.
It just won't be Paul George.
The All-Star-caliber wing, who is averaging 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists this season, hasn't played since Dec. 22 because of a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, an injury that the team said at the time would require three to four weeks of rest before the next steps could be determined. As the three-week mark arrived Tuesday a person with knowledge of George's recovery said that the team is extending the amount of time George will rest beyond the four-week timeline, to gauge how his elbow responds.
