February has passed, and so has the Clippers' honeymoon period. This month's record is in stark contrast to the previous two months, with six wins and five losses, and the 23-5 record in the first two months is dwarfed. The Clippers dropped from top of the West to fourth in the rankings, much to the disappointment of fans.
The decline in results has been accompanied by a wave of injuries within the team, especially George, one of the core of the team, who has suffered a series of injuries. His form has suffered, with just seven points per game, which is heart-wrenching for a former superstar. From groin injuries to soreness in his left knee to the latest meniscus pain in his left knee, George's injuries appear to be getting worse. He may need to take a break from the pitch and recover for a while.
However, even without George, the Clippers are not pessimistic. They are confident that they can keep their playoff spot without a core player. The management has not lost confidence and they still believe that they can keep the team competitive.
In this context, the issue of George's contract extension with the team has also become the focus of fans' attention. Despite all the rumors, the Clippers kept their composure. They believe that at the end of the season, there will be an opportune moment to decide whether George will stay or not. At the same time, the team is also thinking about how to improve the squad to ensure that there are no weaknesses in the next season.
Although the current situation is not optimistic, the Clippers still maintain confidence in the future. They know that only through this difficult period can they usher in a better tomorrow. This season is just the beginning of the supercarrier trials, and the next season, they will set sail for the future.
