We would have done without this kind of breaking news at 9 p.m., especially Clippers fans. Injured in the knee since March 22, Paul George missed the whole end of the regular season and he is now announced absent… until the end of the first round against the Suns. Ouch.
We are not saying that they believed in it, but let’s say that they were waiting for news and not necessarily this one. “They” are the Clippers fans, and the latecomers will soon find out what being a fan of the LA franchise means once the Playoffs roll around.
All-Star F Paul George is likely to miss the Clippers’ entire opening-round Western Conference playoff series against the Suns because of his sprained right knee, @wojespn reported on NBA Countdown on Sunday.

Not necessarily want to shoot the ambulance, especially since even without a PG the Clippers roster seems equipped to – at least – worry the Suns a little, but let’s say that the announced absence of a guy who runs at average oscillating between 25 and 30 pawns is necessarily a dirty lease. The Clippers’ luck? Tyronn Lue has been strumming without his second best player for three weeks and we will therefore not see a revolution in the Californian rotations. For the rest, it must be pretty nasty with the Sailboats and we understand them.
We remain on the lookout for the next updates made in the hospital, but it’s therefore a safe bet that Kawhi Leonard will have to multiply to hit a feat against CP3, Devin Booker, KD and their friends. Impossible mission ? No, but very difficult mission.
