Paul George shines in Clippers debut, drops 33 in return from shoulder surgeries

For the first time since April, Paul George has finally made it back to the floor.

George made his debut with the Los Angeles Clippers in their 132-127 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center on Thursday night, and looked like he hasn’t missed a step. He dropped 33 points and nine rebounds, shooting 10-of-17 from the field in 24 minutes.

“He was sensational,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said, via Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times. “We played him about the minutes we liked … He was great. We ran some good stuff for him.
