Andrew Greif: Clippers say Paul George (left hamstring) will miss tomorrow’s game in New Orleans and Maurice Harkless is questionable to play (sore lower back).
Mirjam Swanson: Doc says Paul George “is goin on the trip.” And that’s it. He’s doing some shooting, as well. But that’s it.
As the president of basketball operations of the Los Angeles Clippers, the Teaneck native and former New Jersey Nets head coach is playing a significant role in the transformation of the NBA landscape in Los Angeles, working for an owner he reveres in Steve Ballmer and alongside close friend and head coach Doc Rivers. Together they guided the Clippers out of a dark period and into a run of sustained success. Now the Clippers, after a summer that included signing Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George, are one of the top teams in the Western Conference and a contender for the franchise’s first NBA championship.
Ohm Youngmisuk: Paul George (strained left hamstring) remains out and will miss his fourth straight game tomorrow against Orlando.
It’s a lot. And to some — including George’s coach — it would be a distraction. “Like, I love Chicago,” Rivers says of his hometown. “But I have no interest in playing there. No way — all the people, the ticket requests.” But George prefers it this way. “[He] actually wanted to come home and to dive into the distractions instead of running away from them,” Rivers says.
