The diagnosis is reportedly in for Clippers forward Paul George after suffering what looked to be a scary knee injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s game vs. the Thunder.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the eight-time All-Star has a sprained right knee and will be re-evaluated by the team in the next two-to-three weeks.

Hopefully we’re able to see PG back on the court sooner rather than later.
