After missing three months with an elbow injury, LA Clippers All-Star guard Paul George returned in a 121-115 comeback win against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.
George started and scored 34 points on 10-of-20 shooting (6-of-9 from 3), adding 6 assists, 2 rebounds and 4 steals in 31 minutes. Coach Ty Lue said before the game that George would be on a minutes restriction.
George, who hadn't played since Dec. 22, completed rehab on a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, was upgraded to questionable on Monday and passed the final hurdles to make his return at Crypto.
