Tired of clippers?

Our titles didn’t have much gas.”
Waiting for George
Paul George missed his second match in a row due to a swollen bone on his right toe. The Californian franchise still doesn’t give a specific timeline for his return, so we’ll have to wait to see when he’ll be ready to return. Once the swelling in the affected area disappears, the player’s condition will become better known. “He’s a little disappointed, especially the way he was playing,” says Lue.
