Paul George’s struggles with health this season have been far from a joke. The Clippers’ 2nd option has played 30 of the Clippers’ 45 games. That may not seem that bad at first. But, the man’s health catching up to him again means that the number may get far worse.

The worrying pattern of his health is starting to return, begging a single question.
