Hours After Tyronn Lue?s Update on Kawhi Leonard and Paul George?s Availability, Clippers All-Star Expresses Guilt: ?It?s Not Fair For Him?

Over the past four seasons, injuries have plagued the LA Clippers at the most inopportune moments. The LA team features two of the league’s premier offensive and defensive talents, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Arrived in the 2019-20 season, the duo have since become the organization’s cornerstone. Over the years, the Clippers’ front office has assembled a fine group of role players and a supporting cast; however, the dynamic duo has yet to spend quality time on the court.

Injury setbacks have hindered the Clippers’ championship aspirations over nearly half a decade. So far, the team’s deepest playoff run only reached the Western Conference Semifinals, accomplished without the presence of Kawhi Leonard. A healthy Kawhi would have made them instant championship contenders and provided a significant boost to the team’s overall morale.

Paul George has supportive remarks for head coach Tyronn Lue

In a recent YouTube show appearance, Paul George sat down with Stephen A. Smith to discuss the upcoming season and various aspects of their lives. During their conversation, Smith highlighted the potential challenges faced by the Clippers’ head coach when star players become unexpectedly unavailable. Smith also asked George for his thoughts on Ty Lue, with his impressive coaching career, not having enough chances to coach a healthy team.

“Its not fait for Ty Lue. I can definitely speak on that, especially with myself,”?Paul replied. He then went into brief details,?“It’s not fair for him to have a game plan to have the way he wants to attack a team, the way he wants to coach. And then, not be able to have the guys that he knows or he’s designing plays for or he’s creating matchups for — not being able to play.”

As the interview continued, PG made a bold declaration. He states that if the Clippers maintain good health, they have the potential to secure a top-two spot in the Western Conference. PG acknowledged his hesitancy to rest the Clippers at the top, citing the reigning champions, the Denver Nuggets, as a factor. He also briefly referred to the Clippers’ past challenges when facing the Nuggets.
