Despite having one of the most star-studded rosters in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers haven’t managed to have a huge impact in the playoffs for the past few years. Of course, a huge reason for the same is the lingering injuries sustained by the All-Star duo of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

Even this season, the Klaw has missed out on several games. Despite his presence in only 11 of the team’s first 32 games, the Clippers are sitting 5th in the stacked Western Conference. Contributions from PG13 have been the primary reason behind the same.
However, after putting up a terrific 17/11/11 triple-double against the Timberwolves, George sat out for 2 clashes with a knee injury. Before leaving for a 5-game road trip, Paul’s availability for their last home clash against the Hornets will be a huge question in many minds.

Paul George listed as “questionable” for the clash against the Hornets
The team released their injury report for the upcoming LAC-Hornets clash. Alongside Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, and Ivica Zubac, the 6-foot-8 forward has also been listed as “questionable”.
Even though PG has been listed as “questionable”, after practicing on Tuesday, there is a huge chance that he might suit up for the clash.
George’s contributions have been immense for LAC. In Year 13, the 7-time All-Star has been averaging 23.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists while shooting the ball on a 44.8/38/87.4 split.
With or without Paul George, it will be interesting to see if the Clippers managed to grab the 5th victory in the past 6 games.
