On February 14, Beijing time, the Clippers officially announced that Norman Powell fractured the inner sesamoid bone in his left foot and did not return to the schedule. He has yet to decide on surgery and has no return timeline and will be sidelined indefinitely. For the Clippers, this is undoubtedly a big blow. Powell joined the Clippers on a trade on Feb. 5, playing just three games for his new club and taking a break from injury in yesterday's game. He was examined to confirm the injury.
So far this season, the 28-year-old Powell has averaged 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and in the three games since joining the Clippers, he has averaged 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 47.6% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range. Unfortunately, he was soon injured. Some fans commented for the first time: "The Clippers are cursed. "This season, the Clippers have really been badly plagued by injuries, and both Core Sika and George are currently recuperating.
Powell was injured in the third quarter of the Feb. 11 game against the Lone Rangers, when he broke through a layup, fell off the line, and then limped off the court.
Currently, the Clippers are 28-30 and ranked 8th in the West, and they may have to compete for a playoff spot by playing the playoffs. According to previous reports, the possibility of a comeback of the small card this season is unlikely.
