76ers' Paul George Suffers Bone Bruise in Left Knee, Avoids Serious Injury

Los Angeles Clippers Star Ruled Out Indefinitely

George Injures Knee in Team Scrimmage

Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George has suffered a bone bruise in his left knee and will be sidelined indefinitely, the team announced Saturday. George suffered the injury during a scrimmage with his teammates on Friday. He underwent an MRI exam, which revealed the bone bruise but no structural damage. The Clippers said George is expected to make a full recovery, but no timetable has been set for his return. This is a significant blow to the Clippers, who are already without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Serge Ibaka (back). George is one of the team's best players and was expected to be a key contributor this season. In George's absence, the Clippers will likely turn to Nicolas Batum, Marcus Morris Sr., and Terance Mann to fill his void in the starting lineup. The Clippers are scheduled to open the regular season on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.
