Some rolling updates for Clippers as they host the Spurs Monday night:
Isaiah Hartenstein will miss the game due to a left ankle sprain. Serge Ibaka is now probable to return from what the team listed as personal reasons.
Paul George is again questionable.
Batum unlisted. – 8:10 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Paul George is questionable to play tomorrow night against the Spurs per Clippers – 8:03 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Paul George is missing his fifth consecutive game because of the elbow. Ty Lue said he’s moreso concerned with PG’s conditioning after no games since Dec. 6 than the injury itself. The arm “feels better,” Lue said. – 6:34 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Justise Winslow is starting tonight at power forward. He will check Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Nicolas Batum is on a minute restriction off bench.
Paul George is out, but Lue is more concerned with conditioning than his injury. – 6:33 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Ty Lue says Paul George is improving and that he is working on his conditioning and the hope is he will be back soon. – 6:29 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Ty Lue: No Paul George (sprained elbow), but Nico Batum (ankle) is playing, coming off the bench on a minutes restriction. Justise Winslow will get the start and start guarding Shai. – 6:28 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Nico Batum is AVAILABLE but is not starting. Justise Winslow is, Ty Lue says.
Paul George is out. – 6:27 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Tyronn Lue today at shootaround said that Paul George and Nicolas Batum practiced yesterday.
“I think Nico is going to give it a shot tonight. I think Paul is going to be out.”
Both George and Batum are listed as questionable. But they’re on different sides of questionable. – 2:58 PM

More on this storyline

Mirjam Swanson: Ty Lue: “With PG back, it takes a load off a lot of guys… he feels good, good enough to play. Biggest thing for him is going to be his conditioning. So we gotta keep an eye on that.” -via Twitter @MirjamSwanson / December 20, 2021
