Clippers' Paul George suffers serious knee injury
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George exited the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with an apparent knee injury.
What It Means:
George had to be helped to the locker room and then carted out of the arena. The Clippers haven't provided an update on his status, but the expectation is that George will miss extended time. Eric Gordon, Terance Mann, Bones Hyland, and Nicolas Batum could be in line for more minutes, and Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard might have more scoring opportunities.
George is averaging 41.2 FanDuel points in 34.6 minutes per game this season, while leading the Clippers with a 29.5% usage rate.
