On February 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's Western Conference focus, the Clippers took on the Suns on the road. In between games, Chris Haynes talked about the injury of Clippers star George and revealed that George is close to a comeback.
Haynes said: "George has been on the sidelines for almost two months. According to the information I got, if all goes well, George will begin a two-week in-state recovery training on February 24. If the recovery goes well, George will make a comeback in the second week of March at the earliest. ”
Due to an elbow injury, George has only played 26 games this season, averaging 35.5 minutes per game, 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists, shooting 42.1% from the field and 32.3% from three-point range. Not long ago, the Clippers released George's latest training video, and he has been practicing shooting with his left hand. In the Super Bowl the day before yesterday, George joined the Clippers stars in the debut.
Not counting today's game with the Suns, the Clippers are currently 29-30, temporarily ranking 8th in the West, 2 wins ahead of the 9th Lakers and 2 wins behind the 7th-place Timberwolves. With Leonard not playing so far this season and George also suffering from injuries, the Clippers have played a tenacious will under the leadership of Tyrenlu, and they have staged many reversals.
I believe that once George returns, this Clippers team will go all out to attack the playoffs. However, this is still not a complete body of the Clippers, according to the team president Frank revealed not long ago, whether Leonard can make a comeback this season is still unknown, he is in recovery training every day.
