Paul George's Updated Status vs. Mavericks Revealed

LA Clippers star Paul George was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks, but he has now been ruled out. George is dealing with an illness that seems to be sweeping the NBA right now, and has finally hit the Clippers' locker room.

It is the time of year when illnesses start to go around the league, as several players in the NBA are popping up on injury reports for the same reason. While this is unfortunate for the Clippers, they have more than enough talent to make up for the absence of George, as they showed the last time he missed a game.

George has been healthy all season for the Clippers outside of this game and one other, and his co-star Kawhi Leonard has yet to miss a game. This has been huge for the Clippers after both stars have dealt with injury issues throughout their time as teammates, but have remained durable to start this crucial season.

The Mavericks will be without Kyrie Irving in this game, so both teams will be missing their second best players. For the Clippers, they have Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and others who are ready to step up in the absence of George as they look to grab their 9th straight win and extend the NBA's longest active winning.
