Is Paul George Playing Tonight vs Nuggets? Clippers Star's Injury Report Fills Fans With Serious Hope

Paul George just can’t seem to catch a break at the moment. The man had gone down with a hamstring injury earlier this season but recently made his return. Or he had until he, unfortunately, reaggravated the same injury.

As things stand, the Clippers stand just 6th in the Western Conference, just one win ahead of the 7th-seeded Suns. Worse yet, the team has only won 3 of its last 10 games.

In case there needed to be any indicators that the team needs George, they’re all flashing red right now.

And so, with that in mind, the question remains.

Will Paul George be healthy enough to play tonight?

What is Paul George’s health status ahead of the big game against the Denver Nuggets?

As if the Clippers’ current predicament wasn’t bad enough, they have to play against the Denver Nuggets during this period. A team that is not only led by the MVP of the last two seasons but also one that is perhaps the most in-form in the NBA right now.

Even with Kawhi Leonard finally playing again, LA is going to need Paul George to show up. And so far, that is, fortunately, looking just a little bit more likely than before.

Initially, Paul George was labeled as out for this game. However, the player has since been upgraded to a game-time decision. So, while there are no confirmations being made here, it is most certainly possible that the man plays.

And it is likely just about every fan will be crossing their fingers, just praying that it happens.

 

What are Paul George’s averages from this season?

After 30 games played, George is averaging 23.7 points, 6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

The man is also shooting 45.1% from the field, 38.5% from beyond the arc, and 88.7% from the charity stripe.
