Like his infirmary colleague, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George was present, in civilian clothes, on the Clippers bench for the derby this night against the Lakers. Before this meeting, Tyronn Lue had also given an update on the state of health of the winger, affected by an elbow ligament, and who has just had an MRI.
” He’s feeling better, he’s making progress, that’s what the MRI showed, but he’s gonna need more time. “, formulated his coachwithout being formal about a possible return this season.
It is recalled that the winger has not played since a trip to Sacramento on December 22. He initially suffered from a sprained shoulder, contracted at the beginning of December against Portland. After two weeks on the sidelines, “PG 13” had resumed play, for two matches. A first MRI had revealed a more serious injury.
Asked about the chances of seeing the superstar again this season, Tyronn Lue replied that it was ” not sure “. A situation that is frustrating for Californians, especially since in addition to Kawhi Leonard, they have also lost their rookie Norman Powell for several weeks.
” All the competitors want to play, I’m down too”admitted the coach. “But like I said, it’s better to keep hope alive. The most important thing is that he feels better, so that’s what we’re focused on.“
We recall that his team had a record of 17 wins and 15 losses at the time of his injury. The Clippers remained in the negative thereafter with a maximum of three games under 50% of victories.
