According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, George sprained his right knee and will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. With just 9 games remaining in the regular season, he is set to play only in the playoffs.

The star forward suffered an injury in the late fourth quarter. As he went up for a rebound, his right knee appeared to bang with Thunder guard Luguentz Dort's knee in the air before landing awkwardly. The forward crumpled immediately to the floor and stayed there for several minutes.

When George got up, he needed help to walk back to the locker room with 4:38 remaining in the game.

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.
