On January 13, Beijing time, according to Bleacher Report star Jake Fischer reported that Clippers forward Paul George has been absent since the end of December last year due to a torn elbow ligament, and he is afraid that he will miss all the rest of the season. Fischer also revealed that it is likely that the small card will not make a comeback this season.
Fischer reported that while the Clippers announced on Dec. 26 that George would reassess the injury in around 3-4 weeks, the team is already operating with a scenario where George may not return this season.
So far this season, George has played 26 games, averaging 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. As one of the core of the Clippers, he did pretty well before the injury. Today, Leonard is still in recovery, there is no official comeback schedule, George has suffered serious injuries that may be reimbursed for the season, the Clippers have suffered a heavy blow, and they have lost important roles on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Fischer also added that Leonard is also likely not to return this season, although he had hoped he would have been able to return. "He's always methodically cautious," revealed a source with knowledge of Leonard's thoughts, "and I know his recovery is progressing faster than expected, but I wouldn't bet on it." Leonard has always focused on long-term interests. If the Clippers aren't in the playoffs, I think his chances of coming back are slim. ”
If the Clippers can still make it to the playoffs without two stars, george and Leonard could make a comeback in the playoffs. The Clippers completed a 25-point comeback in the last game to beat the Nuggets, who are currently 21-21 and eighth in the West. However, due to the lack of core players, the prospects of the Clippers are not optimistic.
