Two weeks ago, a bad game got worse against the Washington Wizards when Paul George momentarily left the court during the fourth quarter due to tightness behind his right knee. Then, eight days later in Sacramento, he was seen having his legs stretched by the team's athletic trainer, and he later told the Indy Star's Candace Buckner that he "took a couple blows" to his left leg and it started to "swell up" and "get tight."
Tired and worn out from getting reacquainted with the rigors of an 82-game season and leading the Pacers in total minutes played after significant time away from the game, it should come as little surprise that Indiana's two-way star is shooting just 29 percent from three (20 percentage points below his blistering November conversion rate) over his last 10 games.
