LA Clippers' Paul George has torn UCL, to be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks

LA Clippers All-Star Paul George suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will rest the injury for the next three-to-four weeks prior to a revaluation, the team announced Saturday.

There's no clear timetable on a return to play, but the hope is that resting the injury over the next month can provide a pathway to a recovery for George.

For the Clippers -- already playing without All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard this season due to an ACL -- the loss of George for a significant period will be a challenge to overcome.
