According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, George is likely to miss the entire 1st Round playoff series between the Clippers and the Phoenix Suns as the team is preparing although one of its leaders will not play.

George suffered an injury in the late fourth quarter of the March 21st game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As George went up for a rebound, his right knee appeared to bang with Thunder guard Luguentz Dort's knee in the air before landing awkwardly.

"I've been feeling better, [I've] been working my butt off, grinding literally every day. Six days out of the week I'm training, doing rehab. I'm going to give it every chance I got, man. It's coming down to the wire," the player has said on his "Podcast P with Paul George".

Before picking up the injury, the Clippers star managed to play 56 games for the franchise, averaging 23.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
