#ClipperNation have two shot makers in Jackson and Morris Sr.
Imagine having those two with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George?
#Clippers would be right there with #Suns and #Warriors with those two healthy.
Tie game at 66-66. 5:19 left in 3rd. – 11:26 PM

ICYMI from this morning @TheAthletic
Kawhi Leonard hasn’t played yet.
Paul George has been out since Christmas.
Norman Powell lasted 3 games.
But the Clippers still have a superstar: Tyronn Lue.

Robert Covington’s corner 3 from Jackson gives LA a 42-41 lead, and Steve Kerr uses a timeout with 9:27 left in first half. This game is a lot better than the Draymond Green-Paul George turnover fest from November.
LA has outscored Warriors by 6 when Curry has been on floor. – 11:13 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Tre Mann checks out after an 11 point 1st quarter.
Just a reminder: Mann was the first draft pick acquired in the Paul George trade. 4 more picks and 2 swaps to go. – 8:03 PM

So to recap:
– Kawhi Leonard (0 games this season after right ACL surgery in July)
– Paul George (0 games since Christmas after torn right elbow UCL)
– Norman Powell (3 games after Portland trade before season-threatening fractured bone in left foot) – 5:44 PM

More on this storyline

Lue said he hopes George is “feeling good.” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Jan. 18 that the team was extending George’s period of rest a few more weeks to see how his elbow responds. “Right now, that’s what they’re saying,” Lue said of George’s planned MRI on Feb. 24. “But things can change any day, any time.” “I hope he’s feeling good,” Lue added. “I don’t know, but things can change. Just something to look forward to. Hope is stronger than fear.” -via ESPN / February 4, 2022
Surgery reportedly remains an option for Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George as he tries to recover from a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported the update Tuesday on The Hoop Collective podcast (55-minute mark). “It’s almost like I’m waiting for bad news on Paul George because they just, you know—it sounds like surgery is a real option there, and if he has that, he’s done for the year,” Windhorst said. -via Bleacher Report / January 25, 2022
