Paul George sidelined for at least a month with torn UCL in right elbow

The LA Clippers have to find their way forward without Paul George who will miss time with 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, per ESPN.

There’s no clear timetable for returning to the court but the hope is that resting the injury over the next month can provide a pathway to recovery. The Clippers hold a 17-15 record currently and are in the fifth spot in the West.

George sprained his elbow on December 6th against the Portland Trail Blazers, after which he rested for a couple of weeks. After returning from the five-game layoff against San Antonio on December  20th, George said he wasn’t sure if the elbow injury would require maintenance and if it would be something that could lead to him sitting out games periodically down the road.
