On April 16, Beijing time, the Clippers suffered a heavy blow, according to the famous woj report, George has triggered a health and safety agreement will be absent from the life and death battle with the Pelicans, and the new crown test results are positive.
In this Clippers-Pelicans showdown, the winner will lock in eighth place in the West, and the losing side will miss the playoffs. George's absence was a huge blow to the Clippers.
In the last game against the Timberwolves, George had 34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. This season, he averaged 24.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
Commenting on George's absence, Clippers president Lawrence Frank said: "We're sure George triggered the health and safety agreement, we feel sorry for him, which is another challenge for the team. This year the team has been going through a variety of challenges. Yesterday, we learned that George's body was not feeling well. In addition, Frank also confirmed that Leonard still has no return timeline.
I have to say that this season is really bad luck for George. Not long ago, he recovered from an elbow injury and returned to the court. Now, he has been diagnosed with COVID-19 again.
George's lack of chance of life and death battle also triggered a hot discussion and rushed to the hot search. Medical expert Evan Jeffries lamented that this season has been a tough season for the Los Angeles superstars. Leonard hasn't played a single game by the scene, George has played 31, Thick Brow has played 40 and James has played 56.
However, the Clippers still have a 24-27 record this season without George, and the resilience of this team cannot be underestimated. Frank encouraged the team, "I don't think there's anything Tyrone [Lou] needs to do to convince the team that we're capable enough to win games because they've proven that and this team has been very, very resilient. They support each other and fight for each other. ”
