Paul George to miss the rest of the season?

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers have erased 25-point deficits twice less than 7 months apart without Kawhi Leonard against the top seed in the West last year and against the reigning MVP tonight. And obviously, Paul George didn’t play tonight – 1:04 AM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Imagine this Clippers-Nuggets game with Paul George, Kawhi, Murray and MPJ all healthy? Damn. – 12:51 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
For those wondering, the Clippers are 0-10 in franchise history when scoring fewer than 30 points in the first half.
The last NBA team to win a game after scoring fewer than 30 first half points: Paul George’s Indiana Pacers in December 2012 at Austin Rivers’ New Orleans Hornets – 11:42 PM

Tyronn Lue says that it is possible that Amir Coffey or Nicolas Batum could remain starters once Paul George returns from injury. Sounds like he values the size on the wing. – 8:44 PM

LeBron James scored 35 points last night, 13 more than the other four Laker starters combined.
That’s tied for the third-largest such difference in the NBA this season:
+26 Paul George (10/29/21)
+14 Stephen Curry (11/18/21)
+13 Kevin Durant (11/8/21)
+13 James (1/9/22) pic.twitter.com/882xfRDLtQ2:31 PM

Hawks fall to 17-22 on the season with a 106-93 loss to the Clippers (who didn’t have Kawhi Leonard or Paul George).
They went 2-4 on their longest road trip of the season.
Trae Young: 19 pts, 7 ast, 3 reb, 2 stl
Bogdan Bogdanovic: 19 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl – 5:40 PM

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
