All-Star NBA Paul George will not play in tonight’s matchup between the LA Clippers and OKC Thunder. George picked up a sprained right knee during last Tuesday’s 101-100 loss to the Thunder for the Clippers.
In the fourth quarter, Paul George stepped up for a rebound and kneed Oklahoma guard/forward Lu Dortz. George landed awkwardly as a result of the hit, collapsing to the ground in agony. Later, teammates assisted “PG13” in getting off the floor and into the locker room. In two to three weeks, the former NBA Most Improved Player winner will undergo a new evaluation. George’s hit on Oklahoma guard/forward Lu Dortz almost ended his regular season.
Since adding new players like Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, and Mason Plumlee in February, the Clippers and George have been playing some of their finest basketball. Before playing Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, they had won five of their previous six games, and Paul George was feeling better after battling a right knee injury.

Paul George put down two highlight dunks, including a stunning spinning dunk on the baseline in the third quarter, and looked as explosive as he has all season.
On Thursday, the Clippers host Oklahoma City in a rematch. The Clippers will attempt to avoid the play-in round of the Western Conference playoffs by finishing among the top six with nine games still to play in the regular season.
Is Paul George Playing Against Oklahoma City Thunder?
The Clippers’ previous matchup with the Thunder didn’t go well. The referee dismissed Terrance Mann from the game on the same play that Kawhi Leonard received his fourth technical foul in his entire NBA career. Paul George then sustains an injury.

The doctors examined his injury and conducted tests, revealing that George will be sidelined for two to three weeks. As a result, he will probably miss the opening of the playoffs as well as the game tonight. It will be difficult for the Clippers to continue playing without him in this west that is on the rise.
