HOUSTON -- Kawhi Leonard will play against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday in the first of a back-to-back set, and Paul George is expected to make his LA Clippers debut on Thursday at New Orleans.
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers ruled George out before the game against the Rockets and said the All-Star swingman probably will play his first game this season against the Pelicans, barring something unexpected.
"Maybe tomorrow or whenever we play after that," Rivers said of George, who is making his way back after having offseason surgeries on both of his shoulders.
