PG's injury

[Roscoe Sheed]

I've read rumors that it is a bone edema and that he might be out for a long time.

Does anybody know the truth about the nature of the injury?

I have been seeing some noise about this too, doesn't sound good, hopefully it's not excessively long

I stopped reading about the injury when I kept seeing months out for recovery time. The two players who recently dealt with it were also out months so...

Officially the team has said nothing of a timetable.

This is concerning, and also a real shame for Paul personally considering how great he's been playing. Seems like quite possibly an significant layoff, at least the kind where the concern is not getting him back on the court, but not letting him back on the court until he's really well.

George was initially listed on the Clippers' injury report with a sore foot, but the specific injury is a bone edema in his toe. That's a bit of an obscure one, so it's worth getting a little bit more information, courtesy of Arlington Orthopedic Specialists:

"Bone marrow edema, also referred to as a bone marrow lesion, is the build-up of fluid within the bone marrow. Typically this accumulation of fluid is due to an injury to the bones. Bone marrow consists of fatty, bony, and blood cell producing material and is contained within what is called the 'spongy bone.' When edema occurs, the increased fluid inside the bone causes inflammation of the bone marrow and adjacent joint."

Kennard replaced the injured Paul George (toe) for the second game in a row and left a lot to be desired. "I have to do a better job of competing harder," Kennard said before the game. "[In] a couple games, not like I was approaching it in the wrong way, but just kind of overthinking a little bit, just not letting the game come to me and just playing my game." He’ll look to improve on that if George misses more time.

Finally the dude got into good rhythm and then he is hit with mysterious injury that only 2-3 players had in history.

I think he will try to be back next month
