The NBA regular season continues today with no game for the Los Angeles Clippers, who will play the Washington Wizards tomorrow.
Edit. The Clippers have not been very consistent after All-Star Weekend, having just suffered a big comeback yesterday when they were overturned by the Los Angeles Lakers after leading by as many as 21 points. In the fourth quarter, the Clippers scored only 16 points as a team, and James scored 19 points alone, so the Clippers lost the Los Angeles derby.
But worse than the loss was the injury of George, the Clippers' core forward. Unknowingly, George has rested for two games due to injury, and there is a high probability that George will not appear in the next game against the Wizards. This time, George's injury was "knee soreness", but in today's official update of the Clippers, George's condition has become "left knee meniscus pain", which really frightens everyone.
George's legs have always been relatively prone to injury, and he has experienced many injuries, which is not easy. Therefore, the Clippers were also very careful about George's situation and did not dare to overuse him. The Clippers have been relatively healthy this season, with Leonard playing in 52 regular-season games so far, equalling his combined appearances in 2020-21 and 2022-23.
Edit. But it's not enough for Leonard to be healthy, Harden, Westbrook and George all need to be healthy for this team to stay competitive. Now, George has meniscus pain, which can be big or small, and if he does undergo surgery, then the Clippers are definitely worried about their future.
Edit. Before you know it, George is also 33 years old, he entered the NBA in 2010, and is currently in his 14th season, and he is also scarred.
