For the past few days, videos showing Paul George present at Clippers training have panicked Sailboats fans. However, the front office of the franchise has still not indicated any return date for their star winger.
It’s progressing on the side of Los Angeles. Since December 22, Paul George has been kept off the NBA courts following a rupture of the elbow ligaments. Already deprived of Kawhi Leonard since the start of the season, the Clippers found themselves very early on without either of their two stars and all this has been going on for three months already. We also expected that the double MVP of the Finals would not participate at all in this 2021-22 exercise, but the absence of PG13 was a real blow for the Angelinos because obviously less expected. In 26 games played this year, the winger has 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5 assists at 42.1% shooting and 32.2% from 3-point range, and friend Paulo had regained the status of team leader at the start of the season that he had with the Pacers or during his MVP level year with the Thunder. A kind of vintage PG24 which is nice, but the NBA is a ruthless universe and the seven-time All-Star was therefore sent to the infirmary once morest our will. His return is obviously more than expected by the fans, but even today, no return date has been given. However, things seem to be moving, since Several videos showing Paul George present at Clippers training have made the rounds on social networks recently, creating a lot of hype concerning his return.

This season, the Clippers are doing what they can in the absence of their leaders and are now eighth in the Western Conference. Composed of soldiers, young and old, the Voiliers roster gives its all every evening and is almost guaranteed to face the Wolves or the Nuggets for the first game of the play-in, in just over two weeks. And if Paul George has returned by then, his presence might obviously upset the forecasts. Remember that during the Playoffs last year, PG had turned to 26.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists on 44.1% shooting and 33.6% from distanceallowing his team to go to the Western Conference Finals, without Kawhi Leonard.
