The Los Angeles Clippers have been playing the majority of this season without the likes of Kawhi Leonard. However, with the likes of Paul George, John Wall, and Reggie Jackson leading the side, the LA-based franchise has managed to stay merely 4 games behind the #1 spot in the West.

PG13 has been balling out. After having missed most of the previous season, the 6-foot-8 guard doesn’t seem to be bothered by his previous injuries. Currently averaging 24.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists, the 32-year-old is playing at an All-Star level.
Unfortunately, during the latest LAC clash against the Miami Heat, Paul re-tweaked the same hamstring that caused him to be sidelined earlier this campaign.

With Ty Lue’s boys currently on a 3-game losing streak, Paul’s availability will certainly be of a huge question against the Denver Nuggets.
Paul George listed as “Questionable” vs the Nuggets
The franchise recently revealed its injury report. Apart from listing Nicolas Batum as “OUT”, the team has put the “Questionable” label ahead of George.
Nicolas Batum (ankle) is OUT tomorrow vs. the Nuggets.
Paul George, as expected, is QUESTIONABLE for the Clippers.
Kawhi Leonard is unlisted and should be available to play tomorrow after participating in practice.

Before flying for the two-game road trip, the 7-time All-Star gave details and updates on his injury. On Tuesday, the Clippers swingman revealed:
“Just take it day to day, see how I feel tomorrow. Give myself the best chance to be able to compete. Definitely take tomorrow and just get treatment around the clock and try to prepare for the next one. It happened on a drive. I got fouled and went to the rim against Bam. That play right there was late third quarter when I felt a little discomfort.”
Clearly, there is a huge chance that the Clippers will have to play missing out on PG’s services tonight. However, with Kawhi returning to the lineup, most of the team’s offense will be run through him.
Facing an in-form Nikola Jokic will be a difficult task for a Paul George-less LAC.
