What some people already expected: after a period of time where the Clippers rested George in hope of avoiding surgery, it now looks like he ll be out for the season.

Where do the Clips go from here?

Just to be precise about it, the article says "possibly" not "probably."

Kawhi should definitely sit the season out now if true.

They didn't want to be in the bubble and it might now end up being the single best chance they pissed away. Take your opportunities when they come .

Does anyone has experience with that kind of injury? He obviously tried to play through it for a couple of weeks before being shut down. How does this injury shows itself? Is it just about pain tolerance or is the mobility of the arm compromised?

There is also the news, that they could be sellers at the trade deadline. But why? To gift OKC a better pick?

There's something about the Clippers and "being out for the season" type of players...

I said it from the beginning of the season that the Clippers should of focused on developing their young players this season with Leonard out. Why have George out there playing hero ball, desperately trying to will the team to a win. It just resulted in him getting injured anyways. This season is a wash for the club. Let the youngsters prove themselves and gain experience thru playing time. Mann, Kennard and Zubac need to step up. And, Coffey, Boston and Scrubb can develop. I think that will pay off the next two seasons when Leonard and George are back playing together again. I still think they need a solid veteran point guard though.

And a nice W in the end. I thought the Kawhi + PG combo would be an interesting experiment, but injuries have hampered them. Similar to the Lakers I feel as though their best shot was in 2020.

I agree.

as mentioned, they're prepared for the possibility he won't return, and that's obviously pretty reasonable. but the thread's titled as "probably". like, hello? completely different, and misleading.

anyway i can only speak for myself and say i was half-way expecting him to be out for the season anyway. the team's still got enough players to fight for a playoff spot even without him, though it won't be easy. kawhi potentially returning obviously solves a lot of things.

regardless it doesn't change anything in the short term. given covid protocols and injuries, they're already playing their young players anyway in heavy rotation minutes.

Between him and Kawhi they are going to DOMINATE the physio clinic league

With one arm, George might be a trade candidate for Simmons or Westbrook now
