Injured Clippers forward Paul George talks about his status, saying he plans 'to attack rehab like it’s practice,' a saying he credited to Kobe Bryant.
in a fight to clinch a playoff berth, All-Star wing Paul George says he doesn’t know his timeline for a return, but “I’m gonna do whatever I can do to shorten the process of when I can return,” he said on his podcast.last Tuesday in what he called a “freak accident” while jumping for a rebound against Oklahoma City’s Lu Dort, but he did not suffer ligament damage. Surgery is not an option he or the Clippers are currently considering.
George said he plans “to attack rehab like it’s practice,” a saying he credited hearing from Kobe Bryant. “I like how Lu Dort competes hard. It was honestly just a wild play from his side,” George said. “I had the ball and he finished like through me. It would have been contact regardless. ... The way he hit me, my knee didn’t have a chance to absorb my fall, so my leg kinda just got stuck. So when he hit me, my leg went backward because it’s the only way my leg could have went, was backward.
Though one of the podcast co-hosts, Jackie Long, said “dirty player” in reference to Dort, George said he didn’t believe Dort was trying to hurt him.
