Paul George Injury Timeline Revealed, Twitter Reacts

by

Paul George is a player who means a whole lot to the Los Angeles Clippers. Overall, he has held the team down while Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with his own knee problems. However, now it will be Leonard’s turn to hold the team down as George went down with a leg injury on Tuesday night. This injury came in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which the Clippers lost by one. It seemed like a very bad injury at the time, and some thought that the star would be out for the rest of the season.

Although, it now seems like the Clippers are getting hit with just a bit of luck. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, George is going to be re-evaluated in about two to three weeks. The diagnosis is a sprained right knee, which is much better than an ACL or MCL tear, which is what some fans thought they saw. Had George been told he was gone for the year, the team’s title chances would have immediately taken a hit.

Fans are currently breathing a sigh of relief over this news. If you were to check the quote tweets on Wojnarowski’s report, you would see the jubilation that many are feeling right now. “I’m glad it isn’t much worse, hope my glorious king gets better soon,” one person wrote. “Wow incredibly lucky after seeing that injury,” said another. Brian Sutterer, a doctor who comments on sports injuries also commented on the matter. “MASSIVE relief,” he wrote. “Sprain suggests a ligament injury, and this timeline is probably too quick for an ACL sprain. PCL sprain would fit with that timeline and mechanism, but we may get some more information.”

Overall, the Clippers have definitely escaped a worst-case scenario here. All of this could have been a lot worse. However, George will now get to rejoin his teammates in time for the postseason. The Clippers are currently fifth in the Western Conference, but with how tight the standings are, you never know what may happen.

Clippers Reportedly Didn’t Want Russell Westbrook At First

by

Russell Westbrook had a very difficult time with the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, his skill set did not fit what that team needed. Although he eventually became a bench player for the team, he still wasn’t playing how they were hoping him to. He was a turnover machine and had some of the worst shooting numbers in the league. Moreover, he was not the triple-double machine he used to be. Having said that, it should come as absolutely no surprise that he was traded at the deadline.

Russ was sent to the Utah Jazz, who made it clear that they wanted to buy out his deal. That is exactly what they did, making Russ a free agent. From there, Westbrook spoke to numerous teams, including the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, and even the Miami Heat. However, he ultimately chose the Los Angeles Clippers. Now, he will get to play with his former Thunder teammate Paul George, as well as Kawhi Leonard.

According to Brian Windhorst via RealGM, the Los Angeles Clippers actually needed to be convinced in order to sign Russ. They had no interest in doing it until Paul George stepped in. From there, the rest was history as Westbrook looks to make his Clippers debut soon. “The Clippers are pretty much admitting Paul George drove this decision,” Windhorst said. “And from what I understand, they were internally against it at the start. Paul pushed for it publicly and privately. Kawhi {Leonard} supported it. And they looked more into it, and they were like ‘Well, you know, there are some things he can potentially help us with.’”

Needless to say, Westbrook got a very lucky break here. Overall, this could prove to be a great fit for him. However, if this goes bad, then his future is going to be up in the air. Hopefully, he can change the narratives that are now being cast on him. Let us know how you think Westbrook will fit in, down in the comments below.

Paul George Speaks Out On Russell Westbrook Signing

by

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are a duo that hasn’t played a whole lot of basketball together. Leonard has dealt with a ton of injuries over the years, while George has had to carry the roster. Overall, when healthy, these two have the potential to run the NBA. However, they certainly need just a bit of help as the Western Conference has gotten a whole lot better over the last few months. In fact, their biggest issue has been at the point guard position where they have gone through numerous players.

Over the past few weeks, there have been rumblings that George would be getting a new teammate. The teammate in question was none other than Russell Westbrook. Russ was in the midst of trade rumors, so it made sense. Moreover, George and Russ have played together, and PG has always shown love to the former Thunder superstar. Well, the Lakers traded Russ which subsequently led to the Jazz buying him out. Yesterday, Russ revealed to the world that he intended to sign with the Clippers. Now, the reunion is complete.

Paul George Reacts

Following this big news, there were plenty of graphics made that depicted Russ in a Clippers jersey. As it turns out, this excited George greatly as he shared one of these images on his Instagram story. In the image above, you can see that George wrote “Let’s Go!!!” Consequently, it is now clear that Paul George is absolutely excited to have this new teammate on board. There is no telling how Russ will do in a Clippers jersey, although he promises to be better than his stint with the Lakers. As we all know, Lakers Russ was one of the more disappointing players we have ever seen.

Russ will get to face off against his former team, the Lakers, on April 5th. This will be near the end of the regular season, and it should make for some compelling basketball. Hopefully, Westbrook can get back on track and change the narratives surrounding him. Let us know what you think of the Westbrook signing, in the comments down below.

Paul George Recruits Russell Westbrook To Clippers

by

Paul George has begun recruiting Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Clippers. Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz, where he is expected to reach an agreement on a buyout of his deal. Prior to the deadline, the Clippers traded away Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, and John Wall in exchange for Mason Plumlee, Eric Gordon, and Bones Hyland. The move gave them zero point guards back in exchange for two. George brought up Westbrook when asked by reporters if the team needs to add another point guard.

“I mean if there’s somebody out there — Russell [Westbrook] — if it makes sense and, obviously it goes with our team, we’re all for it,” Paul George said, earlier this week. “We need a point guard. But in the same, I think we’re good as well. If nothing happened, I think we got enough in this locker room to be able to make it work. But it would definitely improve our team if we had that traditional point guard to kind of get us in things and make the game easy. So hopefully Russell sees this and, we figure something out.”

Paul George’s Message For Russell Westbrook

“I just think, we, in particular, we got enough shooting to surround Russ where Russ can be Russ,” George continued. “I think the floor will be open for him, spacing will be there for him. I’m a big believer in and fan of what Russ’s work is, you know, having one of my best seasons in my career alongside of him. I’ve seen what he can do, night in, night out and I think he’s still got a lot of game there. I’m biased, you know, when it comes to Russ and I really think he can improve the team. He’s such a big talent. He rebounds, he finds guys, he makes the game easy for everyone and, I mean, I think he’ll come and he’ll mesh. I think he’ll come and he’ll mesh and, and he’ll figure out how we play and he’ll adjust to it.”

Paul George and the Clippers are currently 31-28, leaving them in sixth place in the Western Conference standings. If he joins the Clippers, Westbrook will be coming off of a tumultuous stretch with the Lakers. However, he still averaged 18.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 7.4 rebounds last season.

Paul George Puts Alleged Hit & Run Perpetrator On Blast

by

Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a fairly inconsistent season. With Kawhi Leonard experiencing injuries, the Clippers simply have not found the momentum they were hoping for. However, they do have a solid roster that could make a splash in the postseason.

For George, this stint in Los Angeles has been all about proving himself. He has tried to get over the whole “Playoff P” nickname that has plagued him for years. Overall, it has been hard to shake off, but he is starting to show that he can be a clutch player.

Paul George Goes Off

Recently, Paul George was involved in a car accident. Typically, car accidents are incredibly annoying as they can be costly, dangerous, and in some cases traumatizing. However, the accident George was involved in allegedly turned into a hit and run, and George was able to ta capture a photo of the perpetrator.

Essentially, George was driving his new car and was hit. Subsequently, the kid driving had no interest in solving the issue and just drove off. Consequently, this led to George posting a photo on social media where he is now looking for any leads.

“Anybody know this kid is? DM me,” he wrote. “This kid hit and run my brand new car today then dipped without giving me his driver’s license. If you know him tag him.”

Overall, this is a pretty bad look for the kid in question. Although, he is probably going to get some street cred at school as the guy who hit Paul George and ran away.

Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
