NBA – No miracle: the Clippers winger will not be dressed this Tuesday evening. Nor Paul George.
The Clippers winger, who did not participate in practice on Monday, sprained his right knee during Game 1 before playing the next game and then forfeiting.
“He is clearly hurt,” the coach tells ESPN. “We are not in load management, he does not rest. He has shown in the past that he can play with injuries in the playoffs. If he can’t play there, it’s pretty serious. We don’t leave him on the bench to manage him, because he’s tired or whatever. He is really hurt and what people say, we don’t care. »
The Clippers in search of exploit
As Paul George is also still unable to return to the courts, the Clippers will have to save their season without their two stars. They resisted well at home, valiantly even, for two matches but they finally gave in to the talents of the Suns. To snag this Game 5 in Phoenix would be a feat.
“It’s a difficult situation to have our two players absent”,
observes Lue, while his team is trailing 3-1. “But I love this locker room. I would go to war with them. That’s why I’m confident, because with these players, we’re not going to give up. We have no choice: we have to win otherwise we go home. We have to give everything. »
