In today's NBA regular season journey, the Los Angeles Clippers have no games to play, but a piece of good news about them has been released.
It is understood that All-Star forward Paul George, who has torn his elbow ligament, can now do a small amount of confrontational training with the coaches. Although it is not yet a team-wide training, George can withstand the intensity of the confrontation, indicating that he has recovered well from injury and still has a chance to come back this season.
Clippers coach Tyrone Lue said George was doing well and didn't feel any pain. In addition, George has also participated in the Clippers' non-confrontation shooting training before, actively adjusting his shooting feelings, and is also preparing for his return from injury.
The Clippers are currently in 8th place in the West, and it's hard to catch up with the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 7, but the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans behind them are a little bit worse. The Clippers still look relatively stable, but they have recently swallowed a four-game losing streak and are a little nervous.
The Clippers are full of injuries this season, Leonard and George have fallen injured, and Powell, who was traded from the Portland Trail Blazers, is really good, but it only took 3 games to get injured and the season is likely to be reimbursed. With the rest of the ordinary players, it is not easy for the Clippers to remain in the playoff ranks.
Coach Tyren Lu also didn't have an accurate time for George and Leonard's comeback, and he complained to reporters about not asking him questions anymore, "When Leonard can play, I will say." But now the Clippers have reached a critical moment in the season, and they do need a star comeback.
Phoenix Suns core guard Paul returned in today's game against the Denver Nuggets, boosting morale across the team. Perhaps the Clippers also need such a moment to stabilize their morale.
