Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:51:29 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — That sound heard this week was the Los Angeles Clippers breathing a sigh of relief that Paul George’s knee injury wasn’t as devastating as it first appeared.The All-Star guard suffered a sprained right knee after going down hard in the closing minutes of a one-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. An MRI showed no major structural damage, and depending upon his condition when he’s reevaluated in two to three weeks, George could be back in time for the first round of the playoffs that begin April 15.“We got the best-case scenario as far as what we thought it could be,” coach Tyronn Lue said. “His spirits are down, but that’s to be expected when it’s late in the season and when you want to help your team.”In the meantime, plenty of minutes are available for the taking. Eric Gordon started in George’s place in a 127-105 win over the Thunder on Thursday, and he’ll keep that spot while George is out. Reserve Bones...
