Ty Lue Speaks on Paul George's Injury

LA Clippers star Paul George is still without an official return date for his sprained knee, but head coach Ty Lue did speak on the star forward at Friday's practice.

When asked about George being back on the court getting shots up, Lue said, "It's encouraging to see, especially from the nasty blow that he took. Thought it could be a lot worse than what it was."

Lue continued, saying, "So just seeing him be able to do some things and actually starting to feel better, that's good to see because you don't want to see your players get hurt and get injured, and it could have been a lot worse than what it was."

On any potential return for George, Lue said, "I'm not a doctor, but I really do lean on the medical staff because like I said, I think we have one of the best medical staffs in the league. We're definitely not going to do anything to hurt PG. Even if he does try to come back and he's not right, we're not going to let him go, because we're not going to let him injure himself and make it worse than what it really is. When he comes back, we'll make sure he's close to 100 percent without being able to injure himself even more."

As for now, George is without a timetable, but the star forward is still rehabbing every day.
