LA Clippers fans, unfortunately, will not be able to see Paul George make his debut against Opening Night against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, they may not have to wait much longer than that.
According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, George’s return date is a “moving target” but he is hoping to return around November.
Assuming his return falls within the month, the Clippers would be without George anywhere from 2-5 weeks. LA’s 20th game of the season is scheduled for November 29.
It seems more likely that George’s return will come somewhere in the middle of that timeframe, so missing 10-15 games seems like a more realistic estimate as opposed to the full 20.
