On February 16, Beijing time, NBA celebrity Chris Haynes talked about the injury of Clippers giant Paul George in the show. It is reported that Paul George is currently in the process of resuming training, and if all goes well in the next training, the superstar will complete his comeback at the earliest in early March. Due to the previous injury problem of the right elbow ligament tear, Paul George has been out of the regular season for nearly 2 months, and now it seems that Paul George has finally begun to enter the rhythm of returning from injury.
In this season's NBA regular season, Paul George has now played only 26 regular season games, averaging 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 41.7% from the field. In the case that Leonard could not play in the regular season due to injury, Paul George played a good data performance single-handedly, and he also successfully ranked in the top 10 of the regular season MVP list. If there had been no injury problems, Paul George could have been included in this season's All-Star starting list this season, but unfortunately, the sudden injury ruined Paul George's wonderful performance.
As a powerful team in the Western Division of the NBA League, even if it loses the two core giants of Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers are still successfully ranked in the top 8 of the Western Conference record list. And if Paul George can really make a smooth return in March, then he will be able to return to the end of the regular season, thus helping the Clippers to storm the playoffs or fight in the playoffs, so in any case, if Paul George can expect to return to the court, it will largely affect the decision of whether the Clippers can eventually make the playoffs.
Of course, even if the Clippers do make their final appearance in the NBA playoffs, in the absence of Leonard, the team is basically impossible to compete for the NBA championship. As for Leonard's injury recovery, the US media has previously reported that it is impossible to decide whether Leonard can return in the next few months. Overall, the probability of Leonard returning to the court this season is undoubtedly very slim, so the Clippers' championship window this season is obviously not open, but I believe that this Western powerhouse team with a double giant lineup will eventually be able to enter the NBA League's championship echelon again!
