The playoffs are approaching, but the point of return of Paul George (Clippers) is still like a haze.
Local media ‘ESPN’ reported on the 9th (Korean time), “George’s knee condition has improved a lot, but it is still impossible to predict when he will return.”
George suffered a right knee injury during a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the 22nd of last month and was replaced. On landing after the rebound, he collided with Lu Genz Dot, breaking his knee. He was in a dizzying situation, but fortunately the injury was not so severe as to require surgery.
Originally, it was expected that it would take two or three weeks for George to return. He cannot play the rest of the regular league games, but if he recovers quickly, he will be able to play in the first round of the playoffs. George visited the home stadium on the 9th and did light training. 카지노사이트
However, George is highly likely to miss the first round of the playoffs, and even if the Clippers advance to the second round, the timing of his return is unclear. The Clippers’ first round opponent in the playoffs will most likely be the Sacramento Kings or the Phoenix Suns. If George misses, it will be a burden for any team for the Clippers.
George started all 55 games this season and averaged 23.9 points, 2.9 3-pointers (37.5% success rate), 6.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.5 steals. He, along with Kawhi Leonard, is considered the core of the Clippers’ power.
‘ESPN’ reported that “George has been steadily digesting rehabilitation training since he was injured, but the Clippers are not yet making plans related to George’s return.”
Meanwhile, the Clippers are in fifth place in the Western Conference. If you win the final match of the regular league against Phoenix on the 10th, you will be confirmed in 5th place.
