Paul George making progress towards return

Paul George participated in a four-on-four practice against LA Clippers assistant coaches with minimal contact on Sunday and his shooting elbow is “feeling better.” With the play-in tournament three weeks away, George took an encouraging next step in rehab and is making progress as he tries to make a return for the eighth-place Clippers. Around the All-Star break a month ago, George was still shooting left-handed while the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow was healing.
