New Report on Paul George's Contract Situation With Clippers

The LA Clippers are still expected to re-sign Paul George

LA Clippers star Paul George has yet to reach a contract extension with the organization he has been with since 2019, which suggests that such an agreement is unlikely this season. While George remaining with the Clippers beyond this season is seemingly still the likeliest scenario, his future looks to be something that will be addressed this offseason as opposed to any time before then.

In a recent report from ESPN's Brian Windhorst on The Hoops Collective podcast, the NBA insider said, "It’s now been three months, give or take, and there’s been no agreement on Paul George, and the word in the NBA is that they’re apart. It’s not like, let’s have a big problem. They’re apart... I think the league believes that Paul George wants to remain a Clipper, and there would be concern in the league about recruiting Paul George, especially if you had to give away players to open up space... My informed speculation is that, eventually, Paul will agree to a deal with the Clippers. It may not be for the full max, but it may be for more than what the Clippers have been offering.”

It continues to remain likely that George and the Clippers extend their partnership beyond this season, but what the logistics eventually look like is the question that cannot be answered yet.
