Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The star forward was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game due to a groin issue. Now, George will miss his first game of the season, which is a significant blow to the Clippers rotation. Normal Powell will likely gain the most fantasy value, but Russell Westbrook and Terance Mann should see more minutes as well. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of Thursday's game.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (groin) was dressed for Thursday morning's shootaround ahead of the game versus the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Tyronn Lue said George could have played in the second half of Tuesday's eventual 119-99 rout of the Sacramento Kings, so the 33-year-old's season-low 16 minutes in that tilt can likely be attributed to the Clippers taking precautionary measures. The two-way superstar has been a first-round fantasy asset in terms of total value during 2023-24, since George hasn't missed a single game yet this year. If George can't ultimately suit up with groin soreness on Thursday, Terance Mann, Russell Westbrook, or Norman Powell would be in line to enter L.A.'s starting five.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said forward Paul George (ankle) could have played in the second half of Tuesday's eventual 119-99 blowout win over the Sacramento Kings, but he did not return after the team announced that he was dealing with left-groin soreness. Lue said there was no update on George's status after the game. George's night was cut short to a season-low 16 minutes, managing nine points, six rebounds, two threes, and two steals before it concluded. PG13 has been a first-round fantasy commodity in aggregate value during 2023-24, having not missed a single game yet this season after experiencing tough injury luck during most of his Clippers tenure to this point. If George can't suit up on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors, look for one of Terance Mann, Russell Westbrook, or Norman Powell to enter L.A.'s starting group.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George scored a very efficient 35 points in this season's first Battle of Los Angeles on Wednesday against the Lakers, finishing a 130-125 overtime loss with 11-for-16 shooting. He was 6-for-9 from three-point range and 7-for-8 at the line. George's work at the starting stripe included three clutch free throws near the end of regulation, which pushed the game to overtime. He really came alive in the fourth quarter, adding 20 points to his tally. Unfortunately for George and the Clippers, he picked up his sixth foul early in overtime, and the team couldn't keep up with the Lakers anymore after the eight-time All-Star had to exit the game. George also made an impact defensively with two steals, and he recorded six rebounds with one assist in 37 minutes.

Guard/forward Paul George desires to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. George has one year left of team control on his current contract before a player option arises next summer. He called extension talks "active but both sides have to be on the same page". The 33-year-old has assembled superb numbers in his Clippers career, averaging 23.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.1 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals over just 189 games since 2019-20 as one of the NBA's best two-way players. George has dealt with a slew of injuries since joining LA after previously being one of the league's more durable competitors, with a right knee sprain costing him the most recent postseason. The eight-time All-Star boasts a nearly complete fantasy skillset when on the court but carries some injury risk as a top-30 fantasy choice.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are reportedly both healthy heading into training camp, according to team president Lawrence Frank. That is great news after both players saw their 2022 campaign come to a premature end due to knee injuries. The hope is that the Clippers can keep both players relatively healthy throughout next season. Both players should be able to offer top-25 fantasy value, assuming they can stay on the court.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have notably missed a ton of games over the course of the last few seasons. The high hopes for the team have depended on their health so that explains why those hopes have been squashed each season. On Marc Stein and Chris Haynes' podcast, the Clippers head coach, Ty Lue said, "They're both on track to be 100% by the time training camp starts, and that's what we need." This is joyous news for Clippers fans and dynasty managers with stock in both players. The next thing to monitor for these two would be injury management throughout the year.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is reportedly unlikely to be traded to the New York Knicks at this time. MSG analyst Alan Hahn deems a swap between the two sides "off the table" after George expressed a desire for a contract extension if he were to join New York. Hahn also says the Knicks believed "it was too expensive" to strike a deal. The 33-year-old George holds one year left of team control on his current contract with a 2024-2025 player option. The two-way superstar remains one the league's most complete swingmen, but various injuries have seen George limited to 56 games or fewer in each of the past four campaigns.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George could be on the move this summer. Earlier this week, the organization was reportedly listening to offers on the All-Star forward. It was being reported that the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets were the two most likely teams to land George. However, the New York Knicks are reportedly showing interest in George. The 33-year-old has been banged up recently, but he's an elite talent when healthy. He averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists through 56 games with the Clippers last season. The Clippers are in search of a legitimate playmaking point guard, so that'll probably be the asking price for George. It remains to be seen if the Knicks are willing to pay the price for the oft-injured forward.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Los Angeles Clippers are "gauging" trade interest in Paul George ahead of Thursday's draft. Stein sees Portland and Houston as the likeliest landing spots for George, who has had an injury-hit four-year spell with the Clippers. The eight-time All-Star averaged 23.8 points across 56 outings in 2022-23, grabbing 6.1 rebounds and recording 5.1 assists with 1.5 steals. George is one of the top two-way stars in the NBA, but there are always question marks surrounding his health, and trading for him will definitely be a risk for any team.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) recently mentioned that he plans to resume workouts as early as next week. The 33-year-old injured his knee in late March and missed the entire postseason because of it. George was hopeful to return in the second round, but the Clippers were eliminated by the Phoenix Suns in the first round. Injuries have been a huge part of the Kawhi Leonard and George era with the Clippers. Hopefully, George will be back to 100 percent healthy soon and can get in a full season in 2023.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (shoulder) both missed a majority of the recent playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. George missed the entire series, while Leonard only played in the first two games of the series. Since joining the team in 2019, Leonard has only played in 161 games, while George has played in 189 games for Los Angeles. This team is built to win a championship, but the two best players on the roster cannot stay healthy. Despite that, the organization remains committed to Leonard and George going forward. It was recently announced that Leonard has torn meniscus in his right knee. It remains to be seen what kind of shape he'll be in heading into training camp.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) said during shootaround that he has made huge progress so far, but his injury is a six-week process and he won't suit up until he feels good at the end of that period. The 32-year-old hasn't played since March 21, so that six-week time frame would be around the first or second week of May. Currently, the Clippers are down 3-1 in their first-round series and won't have Kawhi Leonard (knee) either for a potential series-losing game. So, at this rate, it seems like we won't be seeing George until next season.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) is expected to miss the entire first-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The good news is, George is progressing well in recently workouts. He reportedly is moving better than he did last week, but it's unlikely that he suits up in this series. The Clippers haven't given an update on his timetable, so unless something changes, fantasy managers should expect George to remain on the sideline. Russell Westbrook will continue to carry the load for the Clippers with George and Kawhi Leonard (knee) both banged up.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) won't play in the postseason series against the Suns. The veteran suffered a knee injury on March 21 and hasn't been available since. Fortunately, he is progressing in the right direction. However, it's unlikely the Clippers will advance deeper into the postseason without George on the floor, so his season could be over. That said, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end. At the same time, Eric Gordon, Norman Powell, and Marcus Morris Sr. should also benefit.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) will remain sidelined for the beginning of the team's first-round series against the Phoenix Suns. As expected, the 32-year-old remains sidelined as they plan to re-evaluate him this week. At this point, it's uncertain how much longer George is going to be out. The fact George hasn't been ruled out for the entire series is a good sign. Fantasy managers will have to wait for more information in the coming days. In the meantime, Eric Gordon is likely to remain in the starting five as the Clippers head into the postseason.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has officially been diagnosed with a sprained right knee and will be re-evaluated in two-to-three weeks according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. George was forced to exit their game on Tuesday after landing awkwardly coming down from a rebound. The video of the incident caused some fear that it was going to be more serious than this, so the fact that it is only a sprain is relatively good news. While he's out, look for Terance Mann and Eric Gordon to pick up some more playing time.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George had his second-best scoring night of the season Sunday against Memphis, finishing a 135-129 victory with 42 points on 12-for-23 shooting. He was 4-for-9 with the three-ball and went 14-for-15 at the foul line, adding 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal to his tally with three turnovers in 35 minutes. George has upped his scoring production to 27.2 points per game after the All-Star break, even when he has actually shot slightly worse from the field. With the Clippers in the midst of a fierce battle for playoff spots, the five-time All-Star should be highly motivated to perform at his very best for the rest of the way.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George tied for the team-high in points as he helped the team grab a 116-107 win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. The Fresno State product scored 26 points on 9-for-19 shooting and 4-for-11 from three while adding six rebounds, five assists and one steal. George is now in the top 25 for value in nine-category leagues as he provides a great amount of stats on both sides of the ball. In addition, he seems to be healthy more often, which is always a win.
