Andrew Greif: At the end of a 2-3 week window of rest, Paul George will be re-evaluated and his mobility will be tested. From there, how quickly he can return depends on mobility and how he feels. Was told a return by George for a first-round series might be overly optimistic.

New ESPN story: Paul George avoided torn ligaments on his sprained right knee. Still, a possible return in the playoffs — if the Clippers clinch a berth without him — is considered optimistic as of now espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 11:14 PM

Tyronn Lue said pregame that with Paul George out Kawhi Leonard could not ease into the game, he had to bring it early.
How does 15 points on 7-of-7 shooting in the first quarter sound? – 11:07 PM

Kawhi Leonard, Robert Covington, and Paul George finally got their first minutes on the floor together Tuesday. They didn’t go well.
In general, the no center lineup to end 4th quarter Tuesday was held to dreadful 92.9 points/100 poss.
Here’s T Lue on how LAC can be better. pic.twitter.com/405qlCc3zq – 10:04 PM

While Paul George will miss remainder of reg. season and it remains to be seen when he can return for potential postseason, George avoided ligament damage. He has to let knee sprain heal, be reassessed and then need ramp up. A potential return in first round might be optimistic – 8:47 PM

Paul George won’t be at Crypto tonight as he begins his rehab. There’s an optimism as it begins: The imaging showed PG avoided damaging the ligaments in his knee. Surgery isn’t something that is expected to be needed for George. – 8:39 PM

Paul George is week-to-week, and his absence touches the LA Clippers on every part of the floor.
Here is who, and how, five Clippers will need to fill the void.

Some matchup rankings headed into Thunder at LA for Thursday night.
The Thunder have beaten the Clippers this season:
– With neither Kawhi Leonard or Paul George playing
– Only George playing
– Both Leonard and George playing
Now, LA tries to avoid sweep with Kawhi, without PG. pic.twitter.com/YtPnmqJIUp – 2:51 AM
