Before being the hero of the Thunder by his defense on Kawhi Leonard on the last possession, Lu Dort was unfortunately signaled by a big contact on the rebound with Paul George. It’s a shin-on-shin impact, and the Clippers winger’s knee twists. It’s a hyperextension, and after staying on the ground for several minutes, George joined the locker room with the help of his teammates. Until then, everything was smiling for him, even to the point that he had signed a 360°!
The reporters, present on the spot, saw him leave the room on crutches, and that is of course very worrying. Especially when you know the fragility of the player. For the moment, the player will carry out the usual examinations, X-rays and MRIs, and it will probably be necessary to wait until the end of the day to find out more.
“I hadn’t seen anything, and it was Dahntay (Jones) who showed me the action” replies Tyronn Lue at a press conference. “I don’t know any more, and he will be examined. I didn’t see him afterwards. »
Same answer from Kawhi Leonard: “I didn’t talk to him…I didn’t see the action, and I thought at the time he was shot in the face. »
And when a journalist asks him how the team sees the future, he replies: “It’s up to the next player to show up… We’ll see…”
The concern is that usually the “next player” is Norman Powell, but he has been in the infirmary for several weeks, and with nine games remaining, this possible double absence could be very expensive so that the gap between the Clippers (5th, 38v-35d) is reduced.
