Clippers know what they have to do in the playoffs without their teammate, who hasn’t played since March 21 but could return for the second round
LOS ANGELES — Dressed in a gray Clippers hoodie and pants, Paul George joined his teammates on the bench for Saturday’s afternoon game against the Portland Trail Blazers. While the Clippers All-Star wing didn’t play, he appeared enthusiastic about his team’s ability to hold off the Blazers and inch closer to a playoff spot.
The hope is that George would have enough time to ramp up by the second round of the playoffs, should the Clippers advance that far. The Clippers, whoKawhi Leonard said entering the postseason without George will be tough. “I mean that’s all we can do, run our offense, you know, make sure we get back in transition on the defensive and rebound, and come back on the other end.”
“ sure I’m talking, making sure guys know the coverages, what we’re trying to execute and get done,” Powell said. “There’s nothing that I have to be outside myself or be somebody that I’m not. Just continue to be who I am, staying confident, playing within the game. I think when I do that, I’m at my best.”
