Paul George (protocols) not on Clippers' injury report Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic.
George and Kawhi Leonard are both set to return after missing the past two games due to the league's health and safety protocols. Luke Kennard and Terance Mann will likely lose their places in the starting lineup. Patrick Beverley remains out with a knee injury, so Reggie Jackson should stick in the first unit, but his usage rate will likely take a hit. George is shooting over 50.0 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc for the first time in his career. His previous career-highs were 46.1 and 41.2 percent, respectively.
George is averaging 40.5 FanDuel points per game this season. The Clippers play at the third-lowest pace in the league and they are joined by the Magic in the bottom-10, setting up a low-scoring affair on Friday's 10-game slate.
