After being diagnosed with the injury on Christmas Day, George was given a timetable of around a month under the initial diagnosis. That has since subsided as the team has chosen to add another few weeks to his rest before re-evaluating the injury. It's a big hit for Los Angeles as they are already thin on superstardom with forward Kawhi Leonard potentially missing the entire season following a torn ACL suffered at the end of last season. In his absence, expect guard Reggie Jackson to take over the go-to role for the Clippers until George is able to return.
George has averaged 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 26 games this season.
