Clippers star forward Paul George missed Monday’s game against Utah due to a right hamstring tendon strain, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.
It’s a different injury than the one the team cited when George sat out the second half of Saturday’s game against San Antonio. The reason given that night was right knee soreness.
George will be reevaluated in the next couple of days.
We have more from the Western Conference:
- Richaun Holmes has fallen out of the Kings’ rotation and it may be difficult to move his contract, James Ham of The Kings Beat notes. Holmes is owed $11.2MM this season, $12MM next season and has a player option for $12.9MM in 2024/25.
- Rockets coach Stephen Silas is optimistic Bruno Fernando can return to action later this week, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle tweets. Fernando has only appeared in two games this season due to left knee soreness.
- Mavericks coach Jason Kidd expressed hope that Spencer Dinwiddie and Maxi Kleber will be available during the team’s upcoming road trip, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News writes. Dinwiddie dislocated his left shoulder against Denver on Sunday, while Kleber hasn’t played since Tuesday due to a lower back contusion.
- Gregg Popovich didn’t coach the Spurs on Sunday after meeting with the press prior to the game. Brett Brown filled in after Popovich felt ill, but doctors who examined him in the locker room pronounced him OK, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News tweets.
Mavs had interest in Holmes. I doubt that’s changed and there’s a trade that could work for both sides.
Dallas, Philly, Brooklyn LA, were my first thoughts. Dude got paid and hasn’t improved conditioning or his game. Change of scenery could help. Although, outside of Dallas, I didn’t find good deals doing some mock trades with those teams lol.
Charlotte could use an athletic Center if they still intend on trying to win anything.
Richaun went through, and won a custody battle with his baby mom. He missed time from the Kings to deal with it last year. He hasn’t been the same since.
Richaun is a great story. Played his high school ball in Chicago suburbs. Had some ability, but was a project and was completely unrecruited. Went to a local D2 Juco. Developed. Signed with Bowling Green. Kept developing. Made his way to NBA.
Would love to see him in Chicago instead of Vooch.
You’re out of your mind
Those are take numbers with Richaun. There is a spot on the Wizards for him right now. ✅️
