LA Clippers not only did they suffer a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, March 21, but they received much worse news: just before the playoffs arrived, Paul George left the game injured.
The Angelenos’ leading scorer in the 2022-2023 season (23.9 points per game) and the team’s second leading scorer behind Kawhi Leonard is vital for the LA Clippers, and losing him would be a very strong blow to their championship aspirations of a franchise that for different reasons has not been able to be 100% in recent years and has wasted the time of Leonard and George.
